Covering & Masking

With professional covering and masking solutions, you ensure clean paint edges, protect adjacent surfaces and reduce rework. Our range includes masking tapes from fine-line capable to high-temperature resistant, masking films made of PE/HDPE, masking paper in suitable grammages, booth and dust protection systems as well as plugs and caps made of rubber or silicone. Complementary dispenser systems and accessories enable fast, economical application. We provide consulting on material selection, edge definition and low-residue removal – for reproducible results from preparation through to final masking.

Use & benefits

Whether automotive, industrial, plastics, wood or bodywork & paint – precise masking is crucial for clean separation lines, low overspray and uniform film build. Suitable materials shorten cycle times, prevent paint bleed and avoid adhesive residues on sensitive substrates. With documented approvals, every step remains traceable and audit-ready.

Tasks & kit configuration

We combine tapes, films and papers to match substrate, temperature window and process duration. Fine-line tapes secure radii and styling lines, HDPE films protect large areas, masking papers cover mechanically stressed zones. Booth protection reduces dust ingress, plugs/caps protect bores and threads. Defined minimum stock levels, service kits and approved alternatives keep supply stable; all approvals and batches are documented via PDF/CSV export and QR labels.

Product areas & integration

The range includes masking tapes (crepe, fine-line, high-temperature), masking films (PE/HDPE), masking paper, booth and dust protection solutions, protective plugs and caps as well as dispenser systems and further accessories. The materials are designed for paint compatibility, edge stability and low-residue removal.

For complete workstations, we configure masking sets with defined roll widths, paper grammages and adhesive qualities. We consolidate bills of materials, define minimum stock levels and integrate supply into QA workflows and audit processes – for stable processes and reliable documentation along the entire value chain.

Frequently asked questions about covering & masking

Which covering and masking materials are part of the standard range?

The range includes masking tapes (crepe, fine-line, high-temperature), masking films made of PE/HDPE, masking paper in various grammages, booth and dust protection solutions, plugs and caps made of rubber/silicone as well as dispenser systems and accessories.

How do I avoid paint bleed, raised edges and adhesive residues?

Choose the tape according to temperature and substrate, press the edge down evenly and remove the masking within the optimal time window. Fine-line tapes ensure clean radii, HDPE films with static adhesion prevent dust ingress, and suitable adhesive qualities reduce residues.

How do I document approvals and ensure traceability?

Record the material type, batch and temperature window as well as approval steps for each job. The records are exported as PDF/CSV; labels/QR codes support quick allocation and audit-proof documentation.
