Ideal For: The Patco 8150 Interior Polyurethane Surface Protection Tape is perfect for a variety of protective applications, including permanent or temporary surface protection. It is particularly effective for anti-squeak, vibration, and sound damping in marine and automotive OEM settings, where it enhances the quality and longevity of components. Additionally, it serves as a protective film during shot peening in metal cleaning operations, safeguarding surfaces from potential damage. The tape is also well-suited for protecting air foil and ground effects panels on racing cars and trucks, providing durable and reliable protection in high-performance environments.

Usage and Maintenance: To use the Patco 8150 tape, ensure that the surface is clean and dry before application. Cut the tape to the required size, remove the kraft paper liner, and press the tape firmly onto the surface, ensuring it conforms to any curves or irregularities. The tape’s high-strength adhesive will securely bond to the surface, providing long-lasting protection. When the tape is no longer needed, it can be easily removed by peeling it back slowly, leaving the surface free of residue. Store the tape in a cool, dry place to maintain its adhesive properties and ensure it remains effective for future use.
