Abstract: A method of removably adhering a masking film to a textured surface having a surface roughness greater than about 150 Ra, the film having a first side with a smooth, non-coated adhesive surface comprising from about 30 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of at least one thermoplastic elastomer having saturated rubber mid-blocks selected from the group consisting of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene, styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene, styrene-ethylene/butylene, and styrene-ethylene/propylene, and a second side having a rough surface.

Abstract: A masking film providing protection to a variety of textured surfaces is disclosed. The film provides an adjustable and controlled level of adhesion between the masking film and the textured surface to be protected without the use of an adhesive coating. The use of varying blends of materials and percentages allows for control of the adhesion level produced between the masking film and the textured surface to be protected. The masking film of the present invention will easily remove from the textured surface even after exposure to heat and aging.
