Co-Extruded Multi-Polymer Tape
2A88 is a 2.0 mil co-extruded tape consisting of a multi-polymer film backing with a low-tack acrylic adhesive system primarily used for decoration and prefabrication applications. 2A88 tape is engineered to provide a unique combination of physical properties for a variety of surface protection applications. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight and direct exposure to water, which may affect the performance of the tape. Resins used in the construction of the film backing are proprietary.
