    Low-Tack Protective Film and Tape

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Protective Film and Tape. Low-Tack Protective Film and Tape.
    Protect polished surfaces from scratches and marring during shipping, machining, and handling. This tape sticks to plastic, metal, and glass, then removes without leaving adhesive residue behind. The low-tack adhesive grips just enough to stay in place, yet peels off without damaging delicate finishes. Choose clear rolls for the gentlest hold on scratch-prone surfaces, like acrylic and stainless steel. Blue rolls have stronger adhesion and higher temperature resistance, making them a good choice for machining and processing.
