Professional-grade fine line masking tape with high-performance rubber adhesive for crisp paint lines, solvent and moisture resistant, ideal for automotive and aerospace paint masking applications.
Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance polypropylene plastic tape engineered for precision paint masking applications where crisp, sharp paint lines are essential. This professional-grade masking tape features a natural rubber pressure adhesive that delivers high instant adhesion necessary for critical, large-scale paint applications in automotive, aerospace, rail, marine, and specialty vehicle industries. The tape's low profile and superior adhesion provide excellent color line separation, preventing soak-in and edge-lifting while maintaining clean removal after use.
The polypropylene backing is stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes while conforming easily around corners and curves, making it ideal for both long straight lines and smooth sweeping curves. With proven resistance to most solvents and moisture, this tape can withstand heat in bake cycles reaching 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it perfect for high-value multi-color and custom painted graphics applications. The tape comes in a convenient 144 roll case format, each roll measuring 1/8 inch wide by 60 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness.
Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is specifically designed for industrial and occupational use, offering repositionable adhesive technology that allows for repositioning without leaving residue. Its 12-month shelf life and compatibility with multiple surface types including glass, metal, PVC, painted surfaces, plastic, and rubber make it a versatile choice for professionals requiring reliable masking solutions for complex painting projects.
