Premium high-temperature polyester masking tape with silicone adhesive for demanding industrial applications. Performs from -60°F to 400°F with excellent chemical and thermal resistance. Perfect for powder coating, chemical processing, and composite bonding.
3M Polyester Tape 8901 is a premium high-temperature masking tape engineered for demanding industrial applications. This thin, conformable polyester tape features a silicone adhesive that provides excellent adhesion to difficult surfaces including silicone-coated materials. With a translucent blue backing that ensures easy identification and precise positioning, this tape delivers superior performance in powder coating operations, chemical processes, and extreme temperature environments. The tape maintains its integrity across a remarkable temperature range from -60°F to 400°F, making it ideal for both hot and cold industrial applications.
Designed for professional industrial use, 3M Polyester Tape 8901 excels in high-temperature masking operations such as powder coat painting where clean paint lines are critical. The silicone adhesive formulation ensures clean removal from most surfaces without slivering or breaking, providing one-piece removal that protects underlying surfaces. This tape demonstrates exceptional chemical resistance, performing effectively in acid or caustic chemical milling baths and anodizing processes. The tear-resistant polyester backing maintains flexibility while providing the durability needed for demanding work conditions.
This industrial-grade tape is available in a convenient 72-roll case format, making it suitable for high-volume production environments. Each roll measures 1/2 inch wide by 72 yards long with a 0.9 mil thickness, providing the optimal balance between conformability and durability. Whether used for masking metal surfaces, splicing silicone liners and films, holding parts during composite bonding operations, or protecting surfaces during shipping and handling, 3M Polyester Tape 8901 delivers consistent, reliable performance that meets ASTM specifications.
