3M 2080-48NC Scotchblue Painters Tape 1.88in X 60yd Purple

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY 2080-48NC is a safe-release painters masking tape designed for delicate and freshly painted surfaces. Measuring 1.88 inches wide by 60 yards long, this purple tape features an EdgeLock adhesive system that delivers extra crisp paint lines without bleed-through. The gentle adhesive bonds securely during application and releases cleanly for up to 60 days without lifting paint or leaving residue. It is suited for professional painters, decorators, and finish tradespeople working on interior projects where surface protection and clean edge definition are the priority.

This tape is engineered for use on smooth, freshly painted surfaces that are at least 24 hours old. Typical applications include faux finishing, trim and baseboard work, wood floor detailing, and glass masking. The purple color provides clear visual contrast on light-colored substrates, making it easy to identify taped edges during multi-step paint jobs. It performs on both residential and light commercial interior painting projects where low-tack, surface-safe adhesion is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, grease, and loose material. Press tape edges firmly along the full length to ensure a sealed bond before painting. Remove tape at a 45-degree angle at a slow, steady pace while the paint is still slightly wet or fully cured to reduce the risk of tearing. Do not leave tape in place beyond the 60-day maximum clean-removal window.
