Where ABI Tape’s AutoWrap makes the difference
The style of modern day’s cars boasts more concave and convex contours. This makes the bodywork not only more complex to manufacture, but also more demanding to protect. The flexibility of AutoWrap tackles that challenge.
AutoWrap tape is coated with rubber adhesive. Rubber provides better performance than its acrylic counterpart as it:
AutoWrap tape is coated with rubber adhesive. Rubber provides better performance than its acrylic counterpart as it:
- is more forgiving for the outgassing process if applied right after the paint oven;
- gives high initial tack if the cars need to be transported right after the protective material is applied;
- wrinkles or folds do not hinder the protective performance;
- does not react with water if this somehow gets in between the painted surface and the film.

AutoWrap Application
Wrinkles or no wrinkles?
AutoWrap is designed to perform with or without wrinkles. Wrinkles might be the result of a fast application cycle. Even though it does not look good, there is no negative impact on the protective performance. Air bubbles and wrinkles can be eliminated by working from the center out to the edges of the surface using a squeegee.
One piece removal
Our AutoWrap products simplify dealership preparations. As long as the AutoWrap material has not been exposed to the sun for 1000+ hours, an easy and one piece removal is assured. A quick pull from one corner is sufficient to remove the film without tearing or ripping.
ABI Tape cutting knives
In order to assure a smoot and flush lay-out, our AutoWrap line contains ceramic cutters used to trim excess.
The blades are protected and designed to easily cut the protective film between panels without causing any scratches onto the surface.
