Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment
43
Abrasion Protection

resistant tapes include vinyl polyethylene polypropylene polyester
nylon and polyurethane pressure sensitive films for every application
Most products are available in self-wound or on silicone release liner
Clean Removal
PSA Tapes are available for clean removal designed to remove from a
wide range of surfaces and conditions without leaving adhesive residue
stains or ghosting This includes temperature extremes chemical or
solvent exposure as well as long term outdoor exposure

53
Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination

based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs

less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods

is a transthoracic (across the thorax or

the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying

Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or

the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker

Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be

is a transthoracic (across the thorax or

the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the

Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment
43

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized

Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment
43

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42
Surface Protection Tapes
Application methods
Generally applied by lamination with help of laminating equipment
Generally the top roller of the equipment is rubberized
The rubber roller helps in ensuring bubble and wrikle free lamination
The unwind brake of the equipment needs to be just sufficient enough so that
the film is in a stretched positioned in order to avoid wrinkles
In cases like metal coil coating plastics plate manufacture extrusion of
plastics sheets etc the lamination equipment is a part the production
equipment

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

Masking tape
Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper
and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive It is available in a variety of widths It
is used mainly in painting to mask off areas that should not be painted The adhesive is
the key element to its usefulness as it allows the tape to be easily removed without
leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied The tape is available in
several strengths rated on a 1ndash100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive Most
painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range Household masking tape is made
of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive
For its original use of marking off areas where auto body paint is not desired a special
grade of painters masking tape is needed With this special grade very clean lines can
be produced Without it the paint bleeds under the edges of the tape producing a fuzzy
or varied line
Drafting tape looks similar to ordinary household masking tape but has a lower tack It is
intended to hold blueprints to a drawing board or light table and to pull off easily without
damaging the drawing
House painters tape is rated by how many days it can be left up without leaving residue
on the surface being masked It is available in 1 3 7 14 30 and 60-day ratings with
the 7- and 14-day tapes being the most common The longer-rated tapes are typically
less adhesive and are sold for use on smooth delicate surfaces such as vinyl wallpaper
and recently painted walls In any case the tape should be removed immediately after
painting regardless of how long it was left up beforehand In the US painters tape is
often blue or purple in color as opposed to the tan household masking tape Spraying
WD-40 is a popular way to remove any sticky residue[1]
41
When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42

Surgical medical Tapes
Tapes are used for different applications in the surgical hospital areas The
main functions of these tapes are strapping holding restrict movements or
dressings
These tapes are mainly based on cotton fabrics non-woven fabrics or
specialty paper
Innovative tapes are developed by using specially compounded adhesive for
applications like waxing (hair removal) pain relief body temperature indicator
strips nicotine patches etc
PE Foam based polyethylene foam coated with medical grade acrylic
pressure ndash sensitive hypoallergenic adhesive Comfortable to wear superior
tensile strength and elongation resists water absorption nontoxic latex free
and hypoallergenic

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

When constructed with plastic films instead of paper masking tapes can be
used for more rigorous applications Polyester-based tapes are used to
mask off during etching plating and in particular powder coating Tapes
based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronicsapplications
Glass cloth tapes are often used in powder coating
and sandblasting operations Foil or vinyl tapes are often used in plating
Layered tapes made from multiple materials laminated together can be
used for masking flame spray thermal spray and HVOF Masking tape can
also be used to adhere posters to walls up to the day rating Masking tape
can basically be used for any purpose required of it and is not limited solely
to painting needs
The adhesive applied to a tape is often a critical determining factor for a
given masking situation There are three broad types of adhesives (with
many chemical variations of each) rubber-based acrylic-based
and silicone-based Rubber-based adhesives generally provide the greatest
adhesion but the lowest temperature resistance Acrylic-based adhesives
offer a wide temperature range providing adhesion from sub-freezing
temperatures up to 275ndash325deg Fahrenheit (about 150deg Celsius) Silicone-
based adhesives provide the highest temperature resistance with some
tapes (such as some polyimide films and glass cloth tapes) allowing for
intermittent use up to 500degF (260degC)
Nowadays masking tapes are widely used for decorative purposes 42

main functions of these tapes are strapping holding restrict movements or
dressings
These tapes are mainly based on cotton fabrics non-woven fabrics or
specialty paper
Innovative tapes are developed by using specially compounded adhesive for
applications like waxing (hair removal) pain relief body temperature indicator
strips nicotine patches etc
PE Foam based polyethylene foam coated with medical grade acrylic
pressure ndash sensitive hypoallergenic adhesive Comfortable to wear superior
tensile strength and elongation resists water absorption nontoxic latex free
and hypoallergenic

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form
55
Hygiene
Adhesive tapes for hygiene products and
medical applications are supplied by koester
The core competence of our subsidiary lies in
the coating of skin-compatible hotmelt

main functions of these tapes are strapping holding restrict movements or
dressings
These tapes are mainly based on cotton fabrics non-woven fabrics or
specialty paper
Innovative tapes are developed by using specially compounded adhesive for
applications like waxing (hair removal) pain relief body temperature indicator
strips nicotine patches etc
PE Foam based polyethylene foam coated with medical grade acrylic
pressure ndash sensitive hypoallergenic adhesive Comfortable to wear superior
tensile strength and elongation resists water absorption nontoxic latex free
and hypoallergenic
PE Film based perforated flexible clear polyethylene film coated with
medical-grade acrylic pressure-sensitive hypoallergenic adhesive This film is
actually perforated not simply embossed This allows the skin to breath and
gives the film added flexibility on high motion areas Nontoxic latex free and

Electrocardiography
is a transthoracic (across the thorax or
chest) interpretation of
the electricalactivity of the heart over a
period of time as detected
by electrodes attached to the outer
surface of the skin and recorded by a
device external to the body[1] The
recording produced by
this noninvasive procedure is termed
as electrocardiogram (also ECG or
EKG) An ECG test records the
electrical activity of the heart
ECG is used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the
size and position of the chambers the
presence of any damage to the heart
and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart such as
a pacemaker
54
Transdermal patch
A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to
deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into thebloodstream
Often this promotes healing to an injured area of the body An advantage of a
transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as
oral topical intravenous intramuscular etc is that the patch provides a controlled
release of the medication into the patient usually through either a porous
membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin
layers of medication embedded in the adhesive The main disadvantage to
transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective
barrier as a result only medications whose molecules are small enough to
penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method A wide variety of
pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form

medical applications are supplied by koester
