ShurTape - Frogtape
FrogTape, now available from ShurTape through a licensing agreement with Inspired Technologies Inc., is reportedly the only masking tape with PaintBlock Technology, a super-absorbent polymer similar to what's used in diapers to keep babies dry. The barrier helps prevent paint or concrete products from bleeding under the tape by forming a micro-barrier along the tape's edge. FrogTape has received numerous awards, including one of Popular Science magazine's Best of What's New awards in 2007
