High-temperature masking tape for powder coating
Silicone-adhesive PET tape and premium crepe paper masking tape that hold through powder-coat cure ovens, anodizing and plating, and peel off clean. Supplied from Toronto to finishing shops across the GTA and Canada.

Masking that survives the oven
Powder coat cure cycles generally run somewhere around 160–210°C for 10–20 minutes — check your powder’s datasheet. Standard masking tape fails in that window: the adhesive flows, leaves residue or lets coating creep under the edge.
ETS supplies two options. High-temperature PET tape is a polyester film with silicone adhesive — strong, solvent-resistant and clean-peeling, used on powder coating, anodizing and plating lines. Crepe paper masking tape in the premium silicone-adhesive grade is a conformable option for powder-coat and paint-spray ovens.
Where it is used
- Masking threads, bores, mating faces and ground points before powder coating
- Protecting areas during anodizing and plating
- Masking through paint-spray and cure ovens
- Die-cut masks and plugs for repeat parts (see custom die-cutting)

PET tape or crepe?
PET tape gives a firm, straight edge and handles solvents and wet processes, so it suits straight masking and plating lines. Crepe conforms around curves and uneven edges, which suits irregular parts.
Running the same mask on hundreds of identical parts? A die-cut mask saves labour and keeps edges consistent.
Frequently asked questions
What temperature does masking tape need for powder coating?
It depends on your powder and part mass. Many cure cycles run roughly 160–210°C. Our PET tape (AHS-940x) is rated 180°C continuous and 220°C short-term; the premium crepe grade (AHS-31xx) is rated 250°C continuous and 300°C short-term.
Will it leave adhesive residue?
Both products are designed for clean removal after the cure cycle. Test on your own substrate and cure profile first — we can arrange a sample for that.
Can you supply it in the widths I use?
Yes. Custom slitting to your widths is available. Tell us the widths and quantities you run.
Can you make die-cut masks or plugs?
Yes. We quote die-cut shapes from the same materials. Send a drawing or sample part.
