Transparent Protective Tape Compatibility Guide
Transparent protective tape can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, but its compatibility depends on the material's texture, smoothness, and chemical properties.
Smooth and non-porous surfaces like glass, acrylic, metal, and glossy plastics provide excellent adhesion. Perfect for glass windows or smartphone screens - protects against scratches without leaving residue.
Rough or porous materials like untreated wood, concrete, or textured plastics may not adhere properly and could damage the surface or leave residue when removed.
Metal Surface Application
- Works well on stainless steel and aluminum frames
- Surface must be clean and free of oils/coatings
- Provides excellent scratch protection
- Removes cleanly without residue on prepared surfaces
Plastic Surface Considerations
- Hard, smooth plastics (PET, ABS) work best
- Soft PVC/polypropylene may react with adhesive
- Potential for discoloration or surface damage
- Always conduct a small area test first
Painted surfaces are only suitable if fully cured. Test the tape on a small, inconspicuous area before full application to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with your specific material.
