Premium aerospace-grade masking tape with natural rubber adhesive, crepe paper backing, and clean removal for professional paint operations. Certified to ASTM D-6123 standards.
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 multiple bake cycles. This professional-grade masking tape features a natural rubber adhesive that provides instant stick and reliable holding power, resisting lifting and curling for sharp, clean paint lines. The smooth mini-crepe paper backing conforms easily to curved and irregular surfaces while maintaining structural integrity, offering excellent surface contact with solvent and moisture resistance to minimize paint bleed-through.
The tape delivers aerospace-level strength and reliability with exceptional adhesive transfer resistance, enabling clean removal that reduces labor and cleanup time. Its special backside treatment provides a smooth unwind for easy handling and reduced waste during application. The crepe paper backing tears easily by hand without requiring tools, yet remains strong enough to resist slivering and provides one-piece removal for user-friendly operation. This tape excels in large-scale paint operations, high-temperature paint bake operations, and aircraft painting applications where precision and performance are critical.
Certifiable to ASTM D-6123 standards (replacing obsolete PPP-T-42C, Type I, CID-A-A-883B), this masking tape bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with controlled unwind that dispenses evenly for consistent taping. The paint flake resistance reduces contamination and potential rework, ensuring a professional paint job. With a maximum operating temperature of 300°F (149°C), tensile strength of 448 oz/in, and 10% elongation at break, this tape is engineered for demanding industrial applications.
