Why Is High Temperature Tape Indispensable in the Coating Industry?|https://www.lvmeikapton.com/

In industrial coating processes, particularly in powder coating, automotive parts painting, and electrical casing treatment, ensuring sharp coating edges and preventing contamination of non-coating areas is a key focus for every process engineer.

This is where a small yet powerful product — high-temperature masking tape — plays a critical role. Among the various brands, LZM high-temperature tape (Lv Zhi Mei Tape) stands out with its exceptional temperature resistance, easy peeling, and residue-free performance, making it the go-to choice for many coating manufacturers and outsourcing companies.

Four Core Requirements of Tape in the Coating Industry

1. High Temperature Resistance: Powder coating baking temperatures are typically between 160°C and 220°C. The tape must withstand heat without bubbling, lifting, or delaminating.

2. Sharp Edge Masking: Ensuring neat coating edges, avoiding "fuzzy edges" or "leakage".

3. Residue-Free Removal: Preventing increased cleaning time after removal, improving efficiency.

4. Ease of Application: Smooth tearing and effortless application, whether manual or automated.

Three Key Applications of LZM High-Temperature Tape in the Coating Industry

1️⃣ Metal Powder Coating Masking Protection

During paint or powder coating, certain areas such as threaded holes, electrical contact points, and positioning surfaces need to be precisely masked. LZM tape exhibits excellent heat resistance and adhesive strength, and remains residue-free even after baking at 180°C for 30 minutes.

👉 Paired with LZM’s high-temperature silicone material, it is perfect for masking aluminum, steel, and other metals.

2️⃣ Automotive Parts Surface Treatment

Parts such as wheels, motor casings, fuel tanks, and handles often require temporary maskingduring painting. LZM high-temperature PET tape, made with a high-strength film base material, won’t break easily and is quick to remove, significantly reducing labor difficulty.

3️⃣ Two-Color Coating for Household Appliances and Hardware

For example, fridge door frames, oven panels, and washing machine drums—in two-tone painting processes, LZM tape provides precise edge control, ensuring clear lines without leaving adhesive residue after removal.

📌 It has been adopted by many OEM appliance manufacturers as their standard coating accessory.


Advantages of LZM High-Temperature Tape

Application Tips & Considerations

1. Ensure surface is dry and free from oil; wipe with IPA if necessary.

2. Apply with pressure to enhance adhesion.

3. Remove while hot after baking for best results (avoid peeling after cooling, as it increases peeling force).

4. For custom shapes, arcs, or hole positions, we can die-cut the tape to your specifications.
