Miarco Chicane Masking Tape 75mm x 20 Meter / Roll

With Chicane tape the masking process is quicker, more precise and more efficient

Chicane is a new revolutionary masking tape with adhesive on opposite sides and a central reinforcement, for car-refinish applications and other repairs of sheet metal and paint. The masking tape Chicane is a revolution in the process of masking a vehicle. It is specially designed to mask rubber and mobile joints such as doors, bonnets and gates. All these areas require a greater investment of time and money when it comes to masking, however, Chicane allows professionals in the automotive sector to carry out the masking process in half the time, saving on materials as the weather strip is no longer necessary automotive, and also get an excellent finish, by preventing paint from penetrating the interior of the vehicle, and by blurring the cutting of the paint.

A new way of fitting masking tape

Chicane, MIARCO’s revolutionary masking tape, has a series of characteristics which make it totally different from all other masking tapes on the market. Chicane has adhesive on opposite sides of the tape, meaning rubbers can be separated and joints sealed at the same time. In addition, the tape is pre-cut so it is easier to tailor the tape measurements to the area that needs to be masked. It also has a reinforced PVC strip running through the centre of the tape so more pressure can be applied to the rubbers without losing flexibility and ensuring cleaner paint cut-off lines. What is more, Chicane adhesive masking tape is also easy to fit and to remove, and can withstand temperatures up to 80ºC, which means it is perfect for booth spraying, without leaving excess waste.

All these characteristics bring a series of advantages, including reducing masking times by up to half, and removing the need for foam tape and standard masking tape, given that the rubbers are separated and the joints are sealed at the same time. Finally, with Chicane masking tape, the paint does not get inside the vehicle and paint cut-off lines blend in seamlessly making them invisible

Areas of application

Traditionally, masking a vehicle was an extremely time-consuming job that required a lot of materials, given that the only way to obtain good results and totally seal off and cover the areas not to be painted was to use different products, such as foam tape, plastic sheeting with tape, and obviously, masking tape. The process to mask the rubber seals in a car was so time-consuming basically because it is difficult to prevent paint from getting inside the vehicle without leaving a tell-tale cut-off line.

However, Chicane masking tape has been especially designed to work effectively in these difficult areas, such as rubber window seals, and door, bonnet and boot openings, as well as the less complicated areas, making it the definitive masking solution for vehicle respraying jobs. Chicane seals and protects the inside of your vehicle but, above all, it offers an excellent finish, satisfying the most demanding of customers.
