Professional-grade green fine line masking tape with high-performance rubber adhesive, ideal for crisp paint lines in automotive and aerospace applications. Resists solvents, moisture, and heat up to 250°F for 30 minutes.
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 adhesive that delivers exceptional instant adhesion for critical large-scale paint applications in automotive, aerospace, marine, and specialty vehicle industries. The tape's low profile and high adhesion characteristics provide excellent color line separation while maintaining clean removal without residue or damage to underlying surfaces.
The polypropylene backing is significantly stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes, allowing it to conform easily around corners and curved surfaces while maintaining structural integrity. Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 demonstrates superior resistance to most solvents and moisture, making it ideal for demanding paint preparation and masking environments. The tape resists heat in bake cycles reaching temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for post-paint heat-curing processes commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications.
This industrial-grade masking tape is specifically designed for fine line paint masking, paint masking for specialty vehicles, custom multi-color and two-tone paint applications, and as layout tape for high-value custom painted graphics. Available in a generous 48-inch width with 250 yards of tape per roll, it provides extensive coverage for large-scale projects. With a 12-month shelf life and repositionable properties, Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is the professional choice for painters and manufacturers who demand precision, reliability, and superior performance in their masking applications.
