What is Masking Tape?

Masking tape is a specially developed tape that serves the purpose of protecting surrounding surfaces from overspray, creating clean paint lines, and allowing for easy and clean removal once the painting process is complete. 3M's masking tapes are known for their strong adhesion, resistance to solvents and water, and ability to hang plastic sheeting. They can conform to curved and irregular surfaces, thanks to their crepe paper backing. The tape can be torn by hand, eliminating the need for tools during application.

When choosing a masking tape, it is important to consider the surfaces it will adhere to and the ease of clean removal. Thin or poorly manufactured tapes may splinter or shred, causing issues during application or removal. Some masking tapes have the tensile strength required for light commercial and industrial applications, such as bundling, labeling, sealing, temporary repairs, lane marking, splicing, and surface protection. 3M offers a wide range of masking tapes in various colors and formulations to meet different application needs. Whether you need a single roll or bulk quantities, there are plenty of options available when ordering masking tape. In industries such as construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, automotive aftermarket, general manufacturing, and retail, a roll of masking tape is considered a basic toolbox or supply room item.
