How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease. Unroll the required length and apply the tape by pressing it firmly onto the substrate to ensure full contact of the rubber adhesive. For stencil work or sandblasting, cut or plot the required shapes from the tape backing, adhere them to the workpiece, and perform painting or blasting as specified. For mirror safety lamination, apply the tape to the mirror back following mirror manufacturer guidelines and relevant safety standards. After use, remove the tape by pulling back slowly at a low angle to reduce the risk of paint lift; removal should be performed within the time limits appropriate for the specific paint system to avoid difficult residue removal.

Usage recommendations

Use tesa® 4432 indoors and on compatible substrates; test adhesion on a small area when working with sensitive surfaces or new paint systems. Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure beyond the intended application time to prevent weathering effects on the paper backing and adhesive.
