Premium aerospace-grade masking tape with rubber adhesive for sharp paint lines, conformable crepe paper backing, and clean removal after high-temperature bake cycles.
3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is a premium high-performance crepe paper masking tape specifically designed to meet aerospace needs in most painting applications, including the use of multiple bake cycles. This smooth masking tape embodies all the features that are desirable in a paint masking tape and is designed specifically for the aerospace market. The natural rubber adhesive provides instant stick and reliable holding power that resists lifting, allowing fast application along with excellent adhesive transfer resistance and clean removal that helps reduce labor and cleanup.
This professional-grade masking tape features a smooth mini-crepe backing that provides excellent surface contact and is solvent and moisture resistant to minimize bleed-through. The backing is easy to tear, which aids in handling, yet strong enough to resist slivering, providing user-friendly one-piece removal. The special backside treatment provides a smooth unwind for easy handling and reduced waste. It is conformable for easy masking around corners and over irregular surfaces, offering easy handling that reduces application time.
The tape has been engineered to deliver paint flake resistance that reduces contamination and potential rework, resulting in a professional paint job. It can be certified to ASTM D-6123 (replaces obsolete PPP-T-42C, Type I, CID-A-A-883B). Recommended for large scale paint operations in the aerospace industry, high temperature paint bake operations, and aircraft painting applications.
