Richard Drew, a 3M scientist, invented masking tape in 1925. It was originally developed for use in two-toned painting on automobiles. Today, 3M provides tapes specifically for the challenges of aeroplane masking and painting. They deliver the durability, speed and consistency required in aircraft painting. For commercial airliners or business jets, your processes and equipment in aircraft painting and paint removal can make all the difference in your operation – in speed, efficiency, safety and maintaining your reputation in aerospace and aircraft MRO.
Some of these tapes partner exceptionally well with some of AkzoNobel’s leading paints for aerospace and aircraft MRO. AkzoNobel is a key partner of ours and we are an authorised distributor of their reputable range of coatings for the aerospace industry. There is no single product to properly paint an aircraft, so the correct process for your requirements must be followed.
