Abstract:
A multi-layer pad of protective film masks, the pad comprising:a backing layer having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion formed from a chipboard material, the second portion having a nonadhering surface, the second portion fixedly coupled to the first portion such that the nonadhering surface is spaced apart from the first portion, the backing layer having a thickness of about 0.02 inches to about 0.06 inches; a first layer formed from a first material, the first material having an adhesive surface and a nonadhering surface, the adhesive surface substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the nonadhering surface, the adhesive surface of the material forming the first layer adjacent and releasably coupled to the nonadhering surface of the second portion of the backing layer; and a second layer having a mask portion and a release tab portion, the mask portion of the second layer formed from the first material, the release tab portion of the second layer formed from a second material having a nonadhering surface, the second material at least partially superimposed over a portion of the first material such that the nonadhering surface of the second material forming the release tab portion is adjacent and releasably coupled to the the adhesive side of the first material forming the mask portion, the second layer superimposed over the first layer such that the adhesive surface of the first material forming the second layer is coupled to the nonadhering surface of the first material forming the first layer and the release tab portion of the second layer creates a barrier to prevent the mask portion of the second layer from adhering to the first layer at a predetermined point.
