TESA 4309 BROWN MASKING TAPE

High temperature brown masking tape for car refinishing

The TESA 4309 Brown Masking Tape from Tesa is a fine crepe paper masking tape designed for professional spray painting and car body repair. Thanks to its natural rubber adhesive and heat resistance up to 120 °C, it is ideal for paint booths and oven-drying processes where clean, residue-free removal is essential.

Main features

• Fine, slightly-creped paper backing for good conformability on curves and body lines.
• Natural rubber adhesive for reliable bonding on metal, rubber, glass, plastic and painted surfaces.
• Temperature resistant up to 120 °C (30 and 60 minutes) for oven-drying processes.
• Excellent paint and filler anchorage on the reverse side to help prevent paint flaking.
• Resistant to wet sanding, maintaining edge integrity during preparation.
• Very good hand tearability for quick, tool-free application and clean tape edges.
• Easy to remove after drying, without tearing and without leaving adhesive residues.
• 53% bio-based content (total product by weight, excluding liner) for a more sustainable choice.

Applications and use cases

• Car body repair masking: designed for demanding masking tasks in automotive refinishing, including spray painting and subsequent oven-drying.
• Multi-surface masking: suitable for painted metal, bare metal, rubber, glass, plastic and chrome parts in workshops and industrial environments.
• High-temperature processes: masking jobs that require short-term exposure to temperatures up to 120 °C, such as bake-drying of paints and fillers.
• Preparation with wet sanding: areas where the tape must withstand wet sanding steps without lifting or edge breakdown.
• Detail work and curves: fine crepe backing allows adaptation to curves, contours and panel gaps for precise paint lines.
