Masking Tape

Masking tape was designed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished work.
Our masking tapes adhere well, resist solvents or water from paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.

Industrial masking tape that delivers sharp, clean paint lines and is ideal for high-temperature paint baking, fascia painting and powder coating applications.

Remains in place around corners, over contours and irregular surfaces.

Resists paint bleed-through to help create sharp paint lines.

Removes cleanly in one piece with no adhesive residue.

Withstands surface temperatures up to 302°F/150°C for 30 minutes in paint bake operations.

Yellow backing improves visibility and accuracy during paint masking.

What is Masking Tape?

Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Masking tapes from 3M adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.

A masking tape should specify what surfaces it will stick to and the interval over which it will remove cleanly. A very thin or poorly manufactured tape may demonstrate splintering or shredding, either coming off the roll or when being removed after use. Some masking tapes have the tensile strength for light commercial and industrial applications, including bundling, labeling, sealing, temporary repairs, lane marking, splicing, and surface protection. The classic crepe paper masking tape is a light tan color, but our masking tapes come in a variety of colors and formulations to meet general and specific applications. A roll of masking tape is basic toolbox or supply room item in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, automotive aftermarket, e-commerce, general manufacturing and retail industries.
