Premium aerospace-grade crepe paper masking tape with natural rubber adhesive for professional paint applications. 48 inches wide, 60 yards long, 7.6 mil thickness with clean removal and high-temperature resistance up to 300°F.
3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is a premium high-performance crepe paper masking tape specifically engineered to meet aerospace industry standards for most painting applications, including multiple bake cycles. This professional-grade masking tape combines superior adhesion with clean removal properties, making it ideal for large-scale paint operations in aerospace manufacturing. The tape features a natural rubber adhesive that provides instant stick and reliable holding power that resists lifting and curling, ensuring sharp paint lines and professional results.
The smooth mini-crepe paper backing delivers excellent surface contact while providing exceptional conformability around corners and irregular surfaces. This backing is solvent and moisture resistant, minimizing paint bleed-through and reducing the need for rework. The tape's special backside treatment ensures smooth, even unwind for consistent application and reduced waste. With a thickness of 7.6 mil and dimensions of 48 inches wide by 60 yards long, this single roll delivers substantial coverage for industrial painting projects.
Designed for aerospace-level strength and reliability, the 3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231/231A demonstrates excellent adhesive transfer resistance with clean removal that helps reduce labor and cleanup time. The tape is easy to tear by hand, eliminating the need for tools, yet strong enough to resist slivering and provide one-piece removal. It can be certified to ASTM D-6123 standards and offers maximum operating temperature of 300°F (149°C), making it suitable for high-temperature paint bake operations. The crepe paper backing tears easily, offers moderate conformability, and lifts off cleanly without damaging underlying surfaces.
