As one of the tools for tile beauty, masking tape is more important than you think. But there are still many people who don’t know what masking tape is and what does it do? Everyone who knows it thinks that masking tape is troublesome, but in fact, it is more convenient and labor-saving than not sticking, and the effect is far beyond your imagination.

Masking tapeis a kind of decoration and spraying paper, which is widely used in interior decoration, spray painting of household appliances and spraying of high-end luxury cars. Its color separation function has clear and bright boundaries, and it also has the function of arc art, which brings a new technological revolution to the decoration and spraying industry, and makes the industry glow with new vitality.

Why can masking tape stick to things?

Of course it is because it is coated with a layer of adhesive on its surface! The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the primary ingredient of adhesives; and modern times are widely used various polymers. Adhesives can stick to things because of the formation of bonds between their own molecules and the molecules of the objects to be connected, which can firmly bond the molecules together. The composition of the adhesive has various polymers according to different brands and varieties.
Why do we have to stick masking tape in construction?
1. It is convenient to organize, saves time and effort. Now there is a construction method for beautiful seams, which is to wax both sides of the tile gap and then make beautiful seams. After the next day is dry, send workers to the door to clean with a shovel. Pre-waxing must be uniform, too little wax will cause the remaining material on both sides to be shoveled; too much wax will penetrate into the tile seam, which will reduce the viscosity of the beautiful seam material, which will easily lead to falling off and rework again.
Sticking the textured paper does not need to consider whether the waxing is even, do not have to worry about the wax oil flowing into the gap, and can effectively isolate the remaining ceramic mud from the tiles. After construction, tear it off directly, and the construction can be easily ended, and the next day does not have to be Send workers to clean it up again.
2. There is no need for a shovel, and it is necessary to clean up the remaining material without hurting the tiles. If the waxing is uneven, the remaining beautiful seam material is not easy to clean up. The shovel itself is a sharp object, even if it is slightly moved, it will Leave scratches on the tiles, and even in the beauty sewing industry, there are often cases of significantly scratching the tiles to compensate the owner. Nowadays, in home decoration, owners often choose antique bricks with uneven surfaces. It is too risky to use a shovel to clean them. If the construction is not done in vain, the wages will not be returned, and the owners will have to be compensated.

The masking tape has the characteristics of being soft and compliant, easy to tear up and torn off without leaving any adhesive residue. It can be affixed to all kinds of tiles and can be easily removed after construction without any damage to the tiles.
3. The viscosity of ceramic mud is too strong, and its viscosity and consolidation degree far exceed that of ordinary beauty joints and porcelain joints. Once the ceramic mud is dry on the tiles, it will be integrated with the tiles to avoid residues on the edge of the gap. Sticking textured paper is the best choice.
Some beautiful seam products can be easily shoveled by a shovel after drying, which can only mean that their adhesion and firmness are lacking, their service life is short, and even some beautiful seams made of shoddy cheap goods, one end of the tile gap. If it falls off, you can pull up the whole piece. The use of such low-end products for beautiful seam construction leads to problems in home decoration, and the owners often blame the construction team and smash the construction team’s own signboard.
4. Conducive to construction, more professional After construction, tear off the masking tape, the edge of the ceramic mud is smooth and smooth, the line sense is stronger, and the construction efficiency is high. Tear off the masking tape on the day of construction, so that no messy residual materials will be left behind. Keeping the site clean and tidy can better demonstrate the skills, professionalism, and considerate service of the construction troops, and it is easier to win the favor and praise of the owners.
Masking tape is an indispensable step in the construction of ceramic mud beauty joints with better viscosity, which not only saves time and effort, but also ensures the effect before and after construction. As the ceramic tile beauty market becomes more formalized and professional, the ceramic mud beauty seam with masking tape has become the mainstream of the mid-to-high-end beauty seam market. What customers want is not low price, but high cost performance, with masking tape. The beautiful seam of ceramic clay makes customers feel that the money is “worth”, and that the money should be spent, willing to spend, and happy to spend.
