Alpha Surface Protection Tape, 6 Inches x 164 Feet

Alpha Surface Protection Tape provides a protective and writable surface for stone fabrication work. It helps protect stone from scratches, stains and etching while allowing cut lines and other markings to be added directly to the tape.

The single-sided tape is made from high-density polyethylene cloth laminated with low-density polyethylene and coated with a solvent-based acrylic adhesive. It can be used during wet or dry cutting and polishing applications.

The tape tears straight and evenly by hand without splintering, eliminating the need for cutting tools. It is also repositionable and waterproof, with a working temperature range from -40°F to 200°F.
