Masking tape is a versatile adhesive product commonly used in painting, crafting, and various industrial applications. Made from a thin paper backing and pressure-sensitive adhesive, masking tape is designed to be easy to tear by hand and provide a clean, precise edge when removed. It is ideal for masking off areas during painting projects, ensuring sharp lines without leaving residue behind. Masking tape is also widely used for labeling, bundling, and temporary fixes.
