High-Performance Tape Solutions for Sandblasting Protection

High-Performance Tape Solutions for Sandblasting Protection

Sandblasting is a powerful surface treatment process widely used across various industries, including automotive, metalworking, construction, and manufacturing. The process involves propelling abrasive materials, such as sand or other granular substances, at high pressure to clean, smooth, or shape a surface. While effective, sandblasting poses a significant risk to surfaces that need protection from the harsh impact of the abrasive media. This is where specialized sandblasting tapes play a vital role.

tesa® offers a range of high-performance adhesive tapes that provide reliable surface protection during sandblasting operations. Key products like tesa® 4432, tesa® 4434, and tesa® 4651 are designed to shield sensitive surfaces while ensuring precise results in demanding environments.

Applications of Sandblasting

Sandblasting is commonly used in applications such as:

Rust and Paint Removal: Sandblasting efficiently strips old paint, rust, and corrosion from metal surfaces, preparing them for a new coat or further processing.
Surface Preparation: It is essential for preparing surfaces before coating, bonding, or welding, ensuring better adhesion and durability.
Cleaning Industrial Equipment: Sandblasting is employed to clean industrial machinery, engines, and tools from contaminants like grease, dirt, and oxidation.
Restoration Projects: Sandblasting is used in the restoration of old buildings, monuments, and vehicles by removing layers of dirt, grime, and unwanted coatings.

However, precision is critical, as unintended areas can easily get damaged by the abrasive process. To solve this, tesa’s sandblasting tapes are designed to protect non-target areas and ensure clean, defined edges.

tesa® 4432 – Heavy-Duty Protection for Sandblasting

tesa® 4432 is a durable masking tape ideal for use in sandblasting applications where protection from abrasive forces is required. With its thick paper backing, this tape is able to withstand sandblasting pressures up to 3 bar, making it suitable for use on metal, glass, and composite materials. Its high-tack adhesive ensures it stays in place, even on rough or uneven surfaces, ensuring critical areas are well protected from damage during blasting.
