Premium industrial polyester masking tape with silicone adhesive for high-temperature applications. Operates from -60°F to 425°F, ideal for aerospace, automotive, and composite bonding with clean removal and chemical resistance.
3M™ Polyester Tape 8403 is a premium industrial-grade masking tape engineered for demanding high-temperature applications and difficult surface adhesion. This translucent green polyester tape features a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive that bonds exceptionally well to challenging surfaces including silicone-coated papers, films, and anodized metals. The tape performs reliably across an extreme temperature range from -60°F (-50°C) to 425°F (218°C), making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and composite manufacturing applications.
Designed as a thicker, more durable version of the 3M™ Polyester Tape 8402, this 2.4 mil thick tape offers superior durability and extended wear life in the most demanding work environments. The silicone adhesive provides clean, one-piece removal from most surfaces without residue, making it perfect for precision masking operations. With exceptional chemical resistance, this tape excels in harsh industrial conditions such as anodization, acid baths, and caustic chemical milling processes.
Each case contains 36 rolls of 1-inch wide by 72-yard length tape, providing ample supply for production environments. The tape meets several aerospace specifications and has been engineered to remain firmly adhered while maintaining flexibility even in autoclave conditions. Whether used for splicing operations, composite bonding, or temporary holding during manufacturing processes, 3M™ Polyester Tape 8403 delivers consistent performance and reliability in the most challenging industrial applications.
