The Killer Tapes
By Holly Kirkwood
I’m sure you’re thinking “Tape? You’re about to tell me about tape?” The answer is “yes!” I’m about to tell you about the world’s best double-sided tape and masking tape! Bron was founded in 1977 in Denver, CO, so you know we have to give a shout out to our fellow Coloradoans! Bron leads the way in innovation of tape. According to a featured article in Company Week, Bron takes a “wide range of products from companies like 3M and Tesa and tweaks them for a given market or customer by way of printing, die cutting, and coating the tape, among other modifications and upgrades.” In other words, Bron knows what they are doing when it comes to tape. We’ve listed two of their most notable.
Killer Red Tape
Killer Red Tape leads the industry in double-sided tape for many industrial applications. Killer Red is highly recommended because of its various attributes and proprietary acrylic adhesive blend. It is weather, UV, and water resistant, as well as easy to use and apply. It’s permanent, which comes into use when mounting, bonding or even laminating metal and plastics. Killer Red Tape sticks to all wood, metal, and plastics!
