Its robust natural rubber adhesive delivers immediate stick and outstanding holding power, effectively resisting lifting, curling, and adhesive transfer—even when applied to challenging surfaces such as EPDM rubber moldings. This tape is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional paint masking applications, ensuring sharp paint lines and clean removal.
The crepe paper backing of 3M™ High Performance Masking Tape 232 is designed for easy hand tearing, allowing for quick and efficient application without the need for tools. It offers moderate flexibility, enabling it to adapt smoothly to curves and uneven surfaces while still maintaining its integrity during removal. The tape lifts off cleanly in one piece under normal conditions, minimizing the risk of slivering and leaving surfaces residue-free. Its natural rubber adhesive forms a reliable bond with a variety of substrates, including paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces, providing both strength and adaptability for a wide range of tasks.
