High-performance polypropylene fine line masking tape with rubber adhesive for crisp paint lines, resistant to solvents and moisture, heat resistant to 250°F, ideal for automotive and aerospace 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 masking tape features a natural rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive that delivers high instant adhesion necessary for critical, large-scale paint applications. The tape's low profile design combined with superior adhesion provides excellent color line separation, making it ideal for specialty vehicle, automotive, rail, marine, and aerospace paint jobs.
The polypropylene backing is stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes while conforming easily around corners, allowing for both long straight lines and smooth, sweeping curves. With proven resistance to most solvents and moisture, this tape maintains its integrity throughout the masking process. It resists heat in bake cycles reaching 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for applications involving thermal processing. Each roll measures 3/16 inch wide by 60 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness, offering optimal coverage for detailed paint masking work.
This industrial-grade tape is frequently used as a layout tape for high-value multi-color and custom painted graphics, custom two-tone applications, and complex automotive designs. The 12-roll carton format (144 rolls per case) makes it ideal for professional shops and manufacturing facilities. Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 represents the pinnacle of 3M's comprehensive lineup of fine line tapes, featuring industry-leading technology in color separation while preventing soak-in and edge-lifting.
