Ideal for Industrial Painting

Introducing the 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 501+, the perfect tape for all your industrial painting needs. With its proprietary adhesive, this tape sticks instantly to a wide range of surfaces, including metal, rubber, glass, and plastic. And the best part? It removes cleanly in one piece, making your painting process a breeze.

Designed with a high-strength crepe-paper backing, this tape easily conforms to irregular surfaces, ensuring clean paint lines and preventing bleed through from most industrial paint systems. Its superior visibility during the paint masking process helps you achieve professional results every time.

Whether you're working on two-tone color applications for trucks, buses, trailers, trains, fire trucks, ambulances, or airplanes, the 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 501+ is the ideal choice. Its easy tear feature makes handling a breeze, while its resistance to slivering ensures a "user friendly" experience with one piece removal. Plus, its conformability allows for easy masking around corners, over contours, and on irregular surfaces.

Recommended Applications
  • High-temperature paint baking
  • Fascia painting
  • Pipe coating

Not only is the 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 501+ easy to use, but it also reduces application time with its easy handling. This tape can be qualified for ASTM D-6123, replacing the obsolete PPP-T-42C, Type I, (CID-A-A-883B) standard.

What is Masking Tape?

Masking tape is a specially developed tape that serves multiple purposes in the painting process. Its primary function is to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, ensuring clean paint lines. Additionally, masking tape should be easy to remove without causing any damage to the subsurface.

3M masking tapes are known for their excellent adhesion, solvent and water resistance, and strength. They can even hold plastic sheeting in place during painting. The crepe paper backing of these tapes allows them to conform to curved and irregular surfaces, making them versatile for various applications.

When choosing a masking tape, it's important to consider its sticking capabilities and clean removal interval. Thin or poorly manufactured tapes may splinter or shred, causing inconvenience during application or removal. Some masking tapes, like our 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 501+, have the tensile strength for light commercial and industrial applications, such as bundling, labeling, sealing, temporary repairs, lane marking, splicing, and surface protection.

While the classic crepe paper masking tape is light tan in color, our masking tapes come in a variety of colors and formulations to meet different general and specific applications. Whether you're in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, or retail industries, a roll of masking tape is a must-have item in your toolbox or supply room.
