PRODUCT FAQ
-
I'm happy to help with that!
What makes the 3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A tan in color?
-
The tape is tan in color for easy visibility and contrast against different surfaces, making it easier to see while working.
Does the 3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A have good adhesive strength?
-
Yes, this masking tape has a strong adhesive that provides secure hold on various surfaces, ensuring clean lines and sharp edges when painting.
Can I use the 3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A outdoors?
-
While primarily designed for indoor applications, this tape can be used outdoors temporarily. For long-term outdoor use, we recommend our weather-resistant tapes.
How many rolls come in a case of the 3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A?
-
Each case contains twelve rolls of the 96 mm x 55 m tan masking tape, providing you with an ample supply for your painting projects.
The 3M Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is a high-quality tape designed for aerospace applications. Its natural rubber adhesive provides instant sticking and reliable holding power, preventing lifting. This tape demonstrates superior adhesive transfer resistance, ensuring clean removal and reducing labor and clean-up time. The smooth mini-crepe backing allows excellent surface contact and is resistant to solvents and moisture, minimizing bleed-through. Additionally, the tape has a special backsize treatment that provides a smooth unwind for easy handling and reduced waste. It is easy to tear, making it convenient to use, while still being strong enough to resist slivering, ensuring "user-friendly" one-piece removal.
With its conformability, the 3M Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is easy to use for masking around corners and over irregular surfaces. It offers easy handling, reducing application time. As a professional-grade masking tape, it also provides paint flake resistance, reducing contamination and potential rework, resulting in a professional paint job.
The crepe paper backing tears easily, offering moderate conformability, and lifts off cleanly. The natural rubber adhesive bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces, providing reliable holding power that resists lifting and curling. Under normal operating conditions, the tape can be removed in one piece and is resistant to slivering.
Recommended Applications- Large scale paint operations in the aerospace industry
What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape is a type of tape specifically developed to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and be easily and cleanly removed when finished. 3M masking tapes are known for their strong adhesion, resistance to solvents and water from paint, and their ability to hang plastic sheeting. The crepe paper backing of masking tape allows it to conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape can be torn by hand, eliminating the need for tools during application.
