PERFORATED MASKING TAPE

The inventive perforated tape is a masking tape that has an elongate tape member further having a polymer coating top layer, a biodegradable paper mask layer middle layer, and a biodegradable polymer perforated lining member contiguously coupled to a bottom surface of the paper mask layer, a plurality of hole members parallelly disposed laterally and longitudinally substantially covering the entire polymer perforated lining member. The polymer perforated lining member further includes a plurality of solid portions of the polymer perforated lining member disposed laterally and longitudinally between the plurality of hole members adapted to resist tear so the elongate tape member tears substantially perpendicularly to longitudinal sides of the elongate tape member along a user-selected one row of a plurality of linear rows of hole members. An adhesive compound is disposed substantially on the entire bottom surface of the perforated lining member.
