XiaMen, China – AIYATAPE, a professional manufacturer of industrial adhesive tapes, today announced a new cooperation with Tesla to supply high‑temperature masking tape solutions for applications in electric vehicle manufacturing. This collaboration marks an important milestone for AIYATAPE as the company strengthens its presence in the global new energy vehicle supply chain.
According to AIYATAPE, its high-temperature masking tape has been specially developed and optimized to meet the demanding requirements of modern automotive production, including high heat resistance, clean removal, and stable performance under complex working conditions. Tesla’s selection of AIYATAPE as a supplier reflects growing recognition of the company’s R&D capabilities, quality management, and production capacity in the field of specialty tapes.
High-Temperature Performance for Critical Processes
In electric vehicle manufacturing, masking tapes are widely used in high-temperature processes, such as powder coating, spray painting, baking, and certain electrical insulation steps. These environments often reach temperatures from 120°C to 260°C or higher, which demands tape products that can maintain stable adhesion without residue, curling, or deformation.
AIYATAPE’s high-temperature masking tape is designed with a heat-resistant backing and carefully formulated adhesive system. During tests and on-site trials with Tesla, the tape demonstrated:
Reliable temperature resistance over multiple baking cycles
Clean, residue‑free removal after high‑temperature exposure
Excellent solvent, paint, and chemical resistance
Good conformability on complex, curved surfaces
Consistent unwind and easy manual or automated application
“High-temperature masking tape is a small component in the whole manufacturing chain, but it plays a critical role in final surface quality and production efficiency,” said a spokesperson from AIYATAPE. “Our cooperation with Tesla confirms that AIYATAPE’s products can meet the strict standards of leading global EV manufacturers.”
Supporting Tesla’s Manufacturing Standards
Tesla is widely recognized for its emphasis on efficiency, innovation, and standardized production. From body painting and coating to the protection of sensitive components, every material used in its factories must pass a series of stringent tests and verification processes.
Within this framework, AIYATAPE’s high-temperature masking tape will be applied to several stages of vehicle production, including but not limited to:
Masking during car body painting and multi-layer coating
Protection of sensitive surfaces and edges during high‑temperature curing
Temporary fixing and marking in assembly and sub‑assembly lines
Potential insulation support in specific non‑critical electrical areas (depending on model and process)
To support Tesla’s global operations, AIYATAPE has optimized its production planning and quality management systems to ensure stable supply, traceability, and consistent performance between batches. The cooperation is also driving AIYATAPE to upgrade its internal processes, including more rigorous incoming material inspection, refined production control, and improved packaging and logistics coordination for international shipments.
Focus on Quality, Safety, and Sustainability
As the automotive industry pays increasing attention to environmental protection and worker safety, the performance of industrial tapes must go beyond basic functionality. AIYATAPE has integrated these requirements into product design and manufacturing management.
The company’s high‑temperature masking tape features:
Low VOC adhesive formulations designed to help reduce emissions in production environments
Controlled adhesive transfer to minimize cleaning time and chemical usage after tape removal
RoHS-compliant raw materials and strict supplier screening
Consistent thickness and tensile strength to reduce the risk of breakage and rework
“Working with Tesla means we must keep pace not only with their technical requirements but also with their expectations in ESG and sustainability,” the AIYATAPE spokesperson added. “We are continuously optimizing our formulas and processes to support cleaner, safer production for our customers.”
Strengthening AIYATAPE’s Position in the EV Supply Chain
The cooperation with Tesla is part of AIYATAPE’s broader strategy to serve the fast‑growing new energy vehicle and electronics sectors. Over the last several years, the company has invested heavily in equipment, laboratory facilities, and technical talent to expand its product line from general-purpose tapes to more specialized, high-performance solutions.
By entering the supply system of an internationally recognized brand like Tesla, AIYATAPE aims to:
Further validate its capabilities in R&D, quality control, and mass production
Accelerate development of next‑generation high‑temperature, flame‑retardant, and functional tapes
Expand cooperation with other global OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and automation integrators
Increase brand recognition and trust among industrial customers worldwide
The company believes that electric vehicles, energy storage, and smart manufacturing will continue to be key driving forces in the industrial tape market. In these areas, requirements for precision, reliability, and material innovation are significantly higher than in traditional applications, bringing both challenges and opportunities.
Continuous Innovation in High-Temperature Masking Solutions
Looking ahead, AIYATAPE plans to work closely with Tesla’s engineering and production teams to explore more customized high-temperature solutions. Future development directions may include:
Masking tapes engineered for even higher temperature resistance and longer dwell times
Tapes with optimized adhesion curves for different substrate materials (aluminum, high‑strength steel, composites, and plastics)
Color‑coded masking systems to support visual management and error prevention on the shop floor
Tapes compatible with robotic application and automatic tape dispensers, supporting Tesla’s high degree of automation
“Every customer in the EV sector has its own unique process requirements,” the spokesperson said. “By cooperating with Tesla, AIYATAPE gains first‑hand understanding of advanced production lines and process details. This will greatly help us develop more refined and application‑specific tape products in the future.”
