07T105 - Walter Inox Tape Stainless Steel Masking Strip

Precision Finishing with Walter Inox Tape

The Walter Surface Technologies 07T105 Inox Tape is a specialized accessory designed to elevate the quality of stainless steel finishing, particularly when working on mitered corners and complex joints. Unlike standard masking tapes which can tear, melt, or fray under the heat and friction of abrasive wheels, this tape is constructed from a thin layer of actual stainless steel. This unique composition allows it to withstand the rigors of grinding and polishing processes while providing a physical barrier that protects adjacent surfaces.

Measuring 30 feet in length and 3/4 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.01 inches, the tape offers the perfect balance of flexibility and rigidity. It conforms well to tubular railings and flat surfaces alike, yet maintains a straight edge that serves as a guide for abrasive tools. The self-adhesive backing is formulated to adhere strongly during operation but release cleanly upon removal, ensuring that no sticky residue is left behind on the finished workpiece. This is critical in high-purity applications such as food processing or pharmaceutical equipment fabrication where surface cleanliness is paramount.

In the context of the Line-Mate finishing system, the Inox Tape is indispensable for creating the signature "crisp line" look on mitered corners. By applying the tape along the diagonal of the joint, operators can finish one side of the miter without cross-scratching the other, then switch the tape to finish the opposing side. The result is a seamless, professional intersection that mimics the appearance of a solid component.
