3M 7000001161 Fine Line Masking Tape 5.0 Mil 1in X 60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001161 is a green, film-backed fine line masking tape designed for precision paint line separation and masking applications. At 5.0 mil thick, the specialty-processed film backing stretches easily around curves while holding straight lines cleanly. The tape delivers strong adhesion to steel at 37 oz per inch width and resists moisture and solvents throughout the masking process. Painters, body shop technicians, and finishing pros use it where sharp, clean color breaks are required. The thin profile allows taping over fresh paint sooner than paper-backed alternatives, reducing the risk of imprint damage to cured and semi-cured surfaces.

This tape is suited for automotive refinishing, industrial finishing lines, and general masking work where crisp paint line definition is critical. Each roll measures 1 inch wide by 60 yards long, making it practical for extended runs on panels, trim, and body lines. It is sold per roll with a minimum order quantity of 36 rolls. The tape performs in environments requiring solvent and moisture resistance but should not be used in outdoor or prolonged UV-exposure conditions.

Key Features

• 5.0 mil film backing stretches for smooth curves and holds straight lines without lifting
• Adhesion to steel: 37 oz per inch width for secure masking during paint application
• Tensile strength of 13 lbs per inch width with 720 percent elongation at break
• Rated for use up to 250 degrees F, suitable for bake-cycle environments
• Excellent moisture and solvent resistance throughout spray and cure phases
• Thin low-profile backing reduces imprint risk on fresh or recently cured paint

Compatibility

Designed for use in automotive refinishing, industrial painting, and general masking applications where a fine, clean paint line is required on flat or curved surfaces.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and contaminants for best adhesion and edge definition. Remove the tape promptly after painting or after the bake cycle while the paint is still slightly warm to minimize edge lifting or tearing. Do not expose this tape to outdoor conditions or prolonged UV light. Surface preparation and tape removal should follow the paint or coating manufacturer's recommended procedures.
