Polyethylene Block Out Tape

PR-N3201 is a polyethylene block out tape that’s used for screen printing. You can apply this durable (5 mils) tape to both sides of the screen. The polyethylene tape forms an aggressive bond that resists inks and cleaning solvents and can withstand multiple washings. You’ll love the clean removal of the tape in one piece – from wood frames and screens – with no adhesive residue left behind. This conformable, self-wound block out tape is all weather and UV resistant for up to 30 days.
