Kikusui 101 Paper Tape in fibreglass moulds
Sometimes overlooked among our specialty tapes, Kikusui 101 Silicone Coated Kraft 10148-150 Paper Tape is commonly used as a moisture resistant packaging tape in freezer and coolroom applications.
Kikusui 101 Paper Tape is also used as a bond break when working with sealants and adhesives in the glazing and waterproofing industries. A recent application highlighted it's versatility in other industries. Several manufacturers are utilizing the silicone coating, or non-stick feature in fibreglass constructions.

One application is for the construction of fibreglass components to build cooling towers used in large buildings and shopping centres. Another is for building sailing boats and pontoons.
Some of the components can be unique and only one piece required, so to keep costs down a simplified mould making process is required.
With this simplified construction process, moulds can be made very economically, and changed very quickly and easily.
Kikusui 101 Paper Tape is used around corners and over joins to enable the gelcoat and fibreglass components to release easily.
