What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape was specifically developed to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and be easily and cleanly removed once the task is completed. 3M's masking tapes adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, while still being able to remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing of masking tape, typically made of crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. This tape can be easily torn by hand, eliminating the need for tools during application.
A good masking tape should clearly specify the surfaces it will stick to and the duration over which it can be cleanly removed. Thin or poorly manufactured tapes may splinter or shred, either when being unrolled or when being removed after use. Some masking tapes have the tensile strength required for light commercial and industrial applications, including bundling, labeling, sealing, temporary repairs, lane marking, splicing, and surface protection. 3M offers a wide range of masking tapes, available in various colors and formulations, to meet both general and specific applications. From wide to narrow, single rolls to bulk, there are numerous options to choose from when ordering masking tape. A roll of masking tape is considered a basic toolbox or supply room item in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, automotive aftermarket, and general manufacturing industries.
