All rolls have a standard length of 300 m. Technical specifications such as grammage (approx. 50 g/m²) and absorbency are consistent.
Perfect Barrier
Paint adheres reliably to the paper without bleeding through under normal conditions. This protects your surface.
Optimal Absorbency
Absorbs excess paint and thus prevents running and dripping. A reference value is approx. 22 g/m² (Cobb).
Easy Handling
Can be torn off cleanly and straight. Makes work easier and reduces waste.
For absolute safety with high paint application, e.g. during spray painting, double the masking in critical zones. Use the narrower widths (21 cm or 37.5 cm) for precise and economical protection.

Discover & Buy Colad Masking Paper NowTechnical Reference Values & Recommended Basic Settings
The production of Colad Masking Paper follows international ISO standards that ensure consistent quality. The following reference values are relevant for practical use:
- Grammage (basis weight): Approx. 50 g/m² (ISO 536). This guarantees sufficient stability.
- Absorbency (Cobb value): Approx. 22 g/m² (ISO 535). Indicates how much paint the paper can absorb.
- Tear resistance: Approx. 2.2 kPa·m²/g (ISO 2758). Reduces the risk of unintended tearing during application.
- Porosity: Approx. 120 ml/min (ISO 5636-3). A low value helps minimize paint penetration.
Note: These values are production-side specifications and can serve as a guideline for your project. Always test first for critical applications.
The Professional Workflow in 6 Steps
- Prepare the surface: Clean, degrease, and dry the surface.
- Select paper: Choose the paper width to match the area to be masked (see table above).
- Use a dispenser: Use a Colad Masking Paper Dispenser (e.g. Art. 000847, 2020, 2030) for fast, easy unrolling and automatic application of the masking tape.
- Apply paper: Pull off the required length, tear it off cleanly, and secure it to the surface with the integrated adhesive tape.
- Press down edges: Firmly press down all edges and the adhesive tape to prevent paint from creeping underneath.
- Check the work area: Ensure that all areas not to be painted are fully and securely covered.
Troubleshooting: Typical Problems and Solutions
1. Paint bleeds through
Possible causes & measures:
- Paper too thin / High paint application: Use paper with at least 50 g/m² or double the layer in the spray zone.
- Edges not firmly adhered: Carefully press down all adhesive tape edges again.
2. Paper tears when unrolling
Possible causes & measures:
- Sharp edges on the unrolling device: Check the dispenser for damage.
- Pulling too abruptly: Unroll the paper evenly with light tension.
3. Adhesive tape does not stick
Possible causes & measures:
- Dirty/dusty surface: Clean thoroughly before masking.
- Unsuitable tape for the surface: Use a premium masking tape suitable for the substrate (e.g. Art. 9070xx).
4. Paper loosens due to moisture
Possible causes & measures:
- Long exposure to moisture: Minimize the dwell time of the masking material during wet work.
- Adhering to damp surfaces: Only apply to completely dry substrates.
Care & Storage of Masking Equipment
- Store rolls dry, cool, and protected from direct sunlight.
- Keep the cutting mechanism of the dispensers clean and free of paper residue.
- Regularly check the roll holders of mobile dispensers for smooth operation.
- Store unused rolls in the original packaging to avoid dust.
- Dispose of used masking material in accordance with local regulations for recyclable paper.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Colad Masking Paper
1. How do I choose the right masking paper?
Pay attention to four properties: grammage (for stability), absorbency (against bleed-through), tear resistance (against tearing), and porosity (determines paint penetration). Colad Premium with approx. 50 g/m² is a good all-rounder.
2. Is the paper environmentally friendly?
Yes. It is recycled paper that is compostable according to standard EN 13432:2000. Production takes place in consideration of environmental management systems (ISO 14001).
3. Can I use it without a dispenser?
Yes, manual use is possible. For efficiency and especially the automatic application of the adhesive tape, however, the use of a Colad Masking Paper Dispenser is strongly recommended.
4. Does the paper hold up with low-viscosity paints?
The combination of barrier properties and absorbency (approx. 22 g/m² Cobb) reliably protects against bleed-through under normal conditions. With extremely low-viscosity materials or high pressure, a double layer should be considered.
5. Which accessories are recommended?
In addition to the various paper widths, the Masking Paper Dispenser (Art. 000847) and high-quality Premium Masking Tape (Art. 9070xx) are the ideal companions for a smooth workflow.
Conclusion
Colad Premium Masking Paper is more than just simple masking material. Thanks to its specific technical properties, the wide range of available sizes, and compatibility with practical dispensers, it offers professionals a reliable and efficient solution for demanding masking work. The combination of performance, ease of use, and environmental compatibility makes it an intelligent choice for workshops and industry.
