3M 7000001173 Polyester Tape 8403 Green 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001173 is a green polyester film tape designed for high-temperature masking applications across industrial and manufacturing environments. Built on a 2.3 mil polyester film backing with a green pigmented silicone adhesive, this tape adheres reliably to silicone-coated surfaces where standard acrylic or rubber-based adhesives typically fail. The silicone adhesive system allows it to perform in elevated heat conditions without adhesive breakdown or residue transfer. It is sold in rolls measuring 2 inches wide by 72 yards long and is typically applied by technicians in production, powder coating, or industrial finishing operations.

This tape is suited for masking during high-temperature processes such as powder coating, anodizing, and similar surface treatment operations. It excels where silicone-treated paper or release liners are involved, since the green silicone adhesive bonds readily to those surfaces. The distinctive green color aids visual identification on the line and simplifies removal after processing. It is commonly used in manufacturing facilities, aerospace finishing operations, and industrial paint lines where heat resistance and clean removal are required.

Key Features

• 2.3 mil polyester film backing provides dimensional stability at elevated temperatures
• Green pigmented silicone adhesive adheres to silicone-coated and release-treated surfaces
• High-temperature masking performance without adhesive bleed or residue transfer
• Green color enables easy identification and precise placement during application
• Roll format at 2 inches x 72 yards suits extended masking runs without frequent roll changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on silicone-coated surfaces and silicone-treated paper in high-temperature masking applications. Suitable for substrates encountered in industrial powder coating, anodizing, and surface finishing processes.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by technicians familiar with industrial masking procedures. Surfaces should be clean and free of contaminants before tape is applied to ensure proper adhesion. After processing, remove tape promptly according to the process specification to avoid adhesive set. Consult the process temperature rating before use in any thermal application to confirm suitability.
