Professional-grade fine line masking tape with rubber adhesive for crisp paint lines, heat resistant to 250°F, case of 288 rolls
Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance polypropylene plastic tape specifically engineered for precision paint masking applications. This professional-grade tape features a natural rubber pressure adhesive that delivers high instant adhesion necessary for critical, large-scale paint applications. The tape's low profile and high adhesion provide excellent color line separation, making it ideal for painting long straight lines and smooth sweeping curves where crisp, sharp paint lines are desired. It is commonly used as a layout tape for high-value multi-color and custom painted graphics in automotive, aerospace, marine, and specialty vehicle applications.
The polypropylene backing is stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes while still conforming easily around corners, providing superior control and precision. Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 demonstrates proven resistance to most solvents and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The tape resists heat in bake cycles that reach 250°F/121°C for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for automotive paint baking processes. With clean removal properties and repositionable features, this tape allows for application adjustments without damaging underlying surfaces, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Each case contains 288 individual rolls, providing excellent value for high-volume users and professional paint shops. The tape's versatility and reliability have made it a recognized industry standard for fine line masking applications across multiple sectors including automotive restoration, custom painting, rail car refinishing, and aerospace component painting.
