Tyco Plastics & Adhesives introduces the first residue-free tape for the building trade industry. The product offers clean removal up to 30 days after application – so it is best to make your repairs within that timeframe. Polyken Stucco 888 Enhanced Masking Material is an adhesive tape that masks window frames, stucco, plastering, concrete, masonry and any other applications where UV-resistant and residue-free properties are required.

The multipurpose cloth duct tape can be used for outdoor masking applications. Its construction withstands ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. The polyethylene-coated cloth with UV-blocking layer provides a high thread count for strength and a thick backing for increased durability. The natural rubber-based adhesive maintains its grip on rough surfaces.

The product was designed to stay in place for a period of up to 30 days, in temperatures reaching up to 150°F. It’s easy to unwind, tear and apply, and its bright red color increases visibility. The single-coated tape is manufactured in a variety of lengths and widths with a total thickness of 11.5 mils, and has an adhesion-to-steel rate of 65 oz./in., and a tensile strength of 40 lbs./in.
