WheelMask Redesigned: Eco-Friendly and Reliable
WheelMask Redesigned: Eco-Friendly and Reliable
At ABI Tape, we’re always striving to improve both our products and our processes. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the new padded stack design for WheelMask designed for efficiency and sustainability. Made right here in the USA, this innovative design not only reduces waste but also ensures faster delivery to meet your needs without delay.
What is WheelMask?
WheelMask is ABI Tape’s clear protective film that helps prevent brake rotor corrosion during storage and transport of vehicles. By protecting rotors from moisture and contaminants, WheelMask ensures that your parts stay in optimal condition.
With the introduction of our new padded stack design, we’ve made it even easier and more sustainable than ever to protect your rotors—without sacrificing quality.
The Benefits of Our New Padded Stack Design
Less Waste, Better for the Environment
No more release liners: By switching to pre-cut, stacked pads, we eliminate unnecessary silicone liner waste, making WheelMask even more eco-friendly.
Sustainable production: As part of our commitment to sustainability, this new design helps reduce environmental impact throughout the entire lifecycle of the product.
Quicker Lead Times with Made in the USA Quality
Faster delivery: Being manufactured in the USA means we can offer significantly quicker lead times, so you get the products you need, when you need them.
Local production: This ensures better quality control, more consistent product availability, and reduced shipping delays. Fun fact: WheelMask is in fact, the only rotor protective film available in pads made in the USA!
Easy to Use and Store
Simplified application: The pre-cut pads of 30 sheets, with or without the center cut-out, are ready to use—no unrolling or cutting required—making your processes quicker and more efficient.
The pre-cut pads are cut to your specific dimensions ensuring the best fit.
Improved storage: The compact padded stacks take up less space than traditional rolls, streamlining inventory and making handling easier and not to mention, now portable.
How to Use WheelMask’s Padded Stacks
Peel and Apply: Simply peel a pad from the stack halfway and apply it to the rim. Then Pull the tab across the rest of the rim for quick protection.
Efficient and Hassle-Free: No cutting, no waste—just smooth, easy application every time!
Remove with Ease: When you’re ready to remove WheelMask, the sheet peels off clean without leaving any residue.
Sustainability at the Core
Silicone is a material derived from petroleum-based hydrocarbons, poses significant environmental challenges throughout its lifecycle. The manufacturing of silicone release liners is an energy-intensive process that consumes large amounts of raw materials, contributing to the paper and pulp industry’s share of 6% of global industrial energy consumption. Once used, these liners are notoriously difficult and expensive to recycle, as most facilities will not accept them due to the high energy requirements for processing. Additionally, silicone is not biodegradable and can persist in landfills for hundreds of years, making it a long-term environmental burden.
To address these challenges, we redesigned WheelMask by transitioning from silicone-lined rolls to padded stacks. This innovative design eliminates the need for release liners, significantly reducing waste and energy consumption. It also reflects our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices, offering an improved solution for both our customers and the planet.
