Masking tape Tesa standard 30 mm x 50 m (model 5087)

Tesa masking tape standard 30 mm x 50 m (model 5087) is a general-purpose painter's tape designed for creating clean paint edges and temporary surface protection. The tape combines a crepe paper carrier with a pressure-sensitive adhesive formulated to adhere securely to walls, wood, glass and metal while allowing easy removal without leaving adhesive residue when removed within an appropriate time frame. With a 30 mm width and a 50 m length, this roll is suitable for typical interior painting tasks and small-to-medium decorating projects.

Advantages

The tape provides precise masking and clean paint lines thanks to its conformable crepe paper carrier. Its adhesive balances secure holding power with residue-free removal on most common surfaces used in interior decorating. The 30 mm width gives better control on trim and smaller areas, while the 50 m length reduces the need for frequent roll changes. The product is compatible with water- and solvent-based paints and is designed for temporary use during painting and surface protection.

How to use

Ensure the application surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease. Cut or tear a length of tape and press it firmly along the edge you want to mask, smoothing down the tape to remove air pockets and ensure good contact. Paint over the exposed area according to your normal procedure. For best results, remove the tape after the paint has become touch-dry but before full curing to minimise the risk of peeling; peel the tape back slowly at a low angle to the surface. If masking on delicate or freshly painted surfaces, test a short piece first to confirm removability.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance. For longer-term outdoor masking or prolonged exposure to UV and weather, choose a tape specifically rated for exterior use. When masking surfaces with low paint adhesion or very delicate finishes, apply a small compatibility test before full use.
