Premium aerospace-grade masking tape with natural rubber adhesive, crepe paper backing, and clean removal. Ideal for high-temperature paint operations with excellent conformability and paint flake resistance.
3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is a premium high-performance crepe paper masking tape engineered to meet aerospace industry standards for professional painting applications. This advanced masking solution features a natural rubber adhesive that provides instant adhesion and reliable holding power while resisting lifting and curling for consistently sharp paint lines. The smooth mini-crepe paper backing delivers exceptional conformability around corners and irregular surfaces, while maintaining structural integrity throughout multi-bake and high-temperature paint cycles.
Designed specifically for aerospace and industrial painting operations, this professional-grade masking tape combines superior performance with user-friendly application. The tape features excellent adhesive transfer resistance with clean removal that minimizes labor and cleanup time. Its specially treated backside ensures smooth, even unwinding that reduces waste and improves application consistency. The backing is solvent and moisture resistant to prevent paint bleed-through, while the natural rubber adhesive bonds exceptionally well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces.
With a maximum operating temperature of 300°F (149°C), this tape is ideal for large-scale paint operations requiring multiple bake cycles. The strong yet tearable backing provides one-piece removal without slivering, reducing contamination and rework. Certified to ASTM D-6123 standards, 3M Paint Masking Tape 231/231A delivers aerospace-level strength, reliability, and paint flake resistance for professional-quality results in demanding industrial environments.
