|
|
| Suggested Applications |
 |
 |
| Sharp Paint Edge: Some masking tapes can leave a ragged, poorly developed paint edge that usually requires rework. 3M masking tapes features a thin, smooth backing that results in a sharp paint line. |
Transfer Resistance: Adhesive transfer can cause problems when removing the tape after painting, contributing to lost production time. 3M masking tapes promotes easy, one-piece removal with excellent adhesive transfer resistance. |
 |
|
| Conformability: Balanced construction also means 3M masking tapes conform to compound surfaces and around curves without tearing the backing. |
