High-performance polypropylene fine line masking tape with natural rubber adhesive, ideal for precision paint applications requiring crisp edges and excellent color separation on automotive, aerospace, and specialty vehicle projects.
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 in automotive, aerospace, marine, and specialty vehicle industries. The tape combines a stiff polypropylene backing with excellent conformability around corners, making it ideal for both long straight lines and smooth sweeping curves.
The tape's superior low profile and high adhesion properties provide excellent color line separation while preventing soak-in and edge-lifting. It offers proven resistance to most solvents and moisture, with the ability to withstand heat in bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes. With an elongation at break of 720% and tensile strength of 13 lb/in, this tape maintains integrity during application and removal. The 6-inch width and 60-yard length per roll provides ample coverage for large-scale masking projects, and the case contains 8 rolls for bulk purchasing efficiency.
Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is specifically designed for industrial and occupational use, serving as the preferred choice for custom multi-color paint jobs, two-tone applications, and high-value graphics. Its repositionable nature allows for easy adjustment during application, while the clean removal capability ensures no residue or damage to underlying surfaces. This tape is a recognized solution from 3M, a pioneer in industrial tapes and adhesives technology.
