Ideal for Aerospace

3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 5501A is a versatile tape that adheres instantly to a variety of surfaces, including metal, rubber, glass, and plastic. It is specifically designed for use in the aerospace industry, where it is commonly used for industrial painting applications, including multi-color painting on airplanes. The tape is known for its ability to remove cleanly in one piece, making it easy to use and saving time during the painting process.

The high-strength crepe-paper backing of the 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 5501A is designed to meet FAA regulations, ensuring its suitability for use in the aerospace industry. The thick backing provides excellent tensioning for layout, allowing for precise and accurate masking. The tape also conforms well to irregular surfaces, ensuring a tight seal and preventing bleed through from most industrial paint systems. This helps to improve visibility during the paint masking process and ensures super sharp paint lines.

In addition to its excellent performance, the 3M Specialty High Temperature Masking Tape 5501A offers other benefits that make it ideal for use in aerospace applications. The controlled unwind feature reduces fatigue and improves accuracy during layout, making it easier to handle and apply. The tape is also easy to tear, eliminating the need for tools and further enhancing its convenience. Despite its easy tearability, the tape is strong enough to resist slivering, ensuring convenient one-piece removal without leaving behind any residue.

Recommended Applications
  • Aircraft decorative painting, OEM, and Refurbishment
  • High temperature masking in aerospace
What is Masking Tape?

Masking tape is a type of adhesive tape that was specifically developed to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray during painting. It is designed to provide clean paint lines and can be easily and cleanly removed once the painting process is complete. 3M masking tapes are known for their strong adhesion, resistance to solvents and water, and ability to hang plastic sheeting. The crepe paper backing of the tape allows it to conform to curved and irregular surfaces, making it versatile for various applications. The tape can be torn by hand, eliminating the need for tools during application.
