Economical, Reliable, High Temperature Powder Coat Masking

With temperatures rising in powder coat paint operations, customers require a masking tape that can withstand high heat. Introducing 3M Polyimide Tape 8998, specifically designed for higher temperature powder coat paint applications. This tape features a 2.0 mil thick polyimide backing with a 1.2 mil silicone adhesive, making it ideal for use in high temperature applications up to 500F/260C. Its dark amber color ensures easy identification and alignment. The polyimide tape's high dimensional and exceptional tensile strength allows it to break through cured paint without silvering or tearing.

Common uses for 3M Polyimide Tape 8998 include masking parts for powder coating, masking edges of overlap seams, e-coating, electroplating, anodizing, and as a barrier of separation for dissimilar metals. This tape resists shrinking, curling, and edge lifting, and can be removed without leaving any adhesive residue. Its thin and flexible backing seals tight on contact, peels off clean, and leaves sharp, clear paint edges.

Recommended Application
  • Masking parts for powder coating
  • Masking edges of overlap seams
  • Barrier of separation for dissimilar metals

3M, the leader in masking tape technology, offers a range of polyimide tapes for high temperature applications. These revolutionary tapes are designed to insulate, mask, protect, seal, flash break, tab, powder coat, and anodize mask.
