High-performance polypropylene fine line tape with natural rubber adhesive for precision paint masking. Delivers crisp edges, excellent color line separation, and resists solvents, moisture, and heat up to 250°F. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, and specialty vehicle painting applications.
Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance polypropylene plastic tape engineered for precision paint masking applications requiring crisp, sharp paint lines. 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 characteristics provide excellent color line separation, making it ideal for painting long straight lines and smooth sweeping curves in automotive, aerospace, rail, marine, and specialty vehicle applications.
The polypropylene backing is stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes while conforming easily around corners, offering superior performance in demanding paint masking scenarios. Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 demonstrates excellent resistance to most solvents and moisture, with proven heat resistance in bake cycles reaching 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes. This tape is repositionable, allowing for easy adjustment during application, and provides clean removal without leaving residue on painted surfaces.
With a 24-inch width and 60-yard length, this single-roll case provides substantial coverage for large-scale paint masking projects. The tape's 5.0 mil thickness and plastic core ensure durability and consistent performance throughout the application. Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is widely used as a layout tape for high-value multi-color and custom painted graphics, delivering professional results in specialty vehicle painting, automotive detailing, and precision masking applications across multiple industries.
