Founded in 1935, Daubert Industries developed and marketed specialty chemicals, adhesives and release coatings for automotive and industrial applications. In 1959, EASY MASK® Painting Tape was conceived to reduce the time and effort involved in separately handling masking paper and masking tape for painting. The product was intended for use in the automotive industry. However, starting with the initial EASY MASK shipments in 1960, this innovative product developed a strong following among commercial and residential painters and consumers.

Today, Daubert Coated Products has become Loparex, LLC., owned by ABN AMRO.

EASY MASK products can be found in over 85% of the paint departments in the U.S. and are sold through paint stores, hardware stores and home centers - including giant retailers and mom-and-pop independents. The products are distributed through paint manufacturers, paint sundry distributors, hardware co-ops, hardware distributors and occasionally through industrial supply houses.

EASY MASK products are not price sensitive and allow the retail store full margins. Initial sales are normally impulse purchases generated in the paint department. Purchases are further prompted through the usage information on the package, in-store merchandising and knowledgeable store personnel. Repeat business, which is dependent on performance creates EASY MASK's products biggest selling advantage - THEY WORK.

EASY MASK products are designed to
• Improve job performance
