3M 7000048403 Vinyl Marking Tape 2in X 36yd 5.2 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048403 is a transparent vinyl tape designed for marking, masking, color coding, and surface protection in demanding trade and industrial environments. Built on a flexible vinyl backing with a rubber-based adhesive, it measures 2 inches wide by 36 yards long at a 5.2 mil thickness. The tape conforms readily to curved and irregular surfaces, making it a reliable choice for lane marking, safety striping, abrasion protection, and splicing work. Licensed tradespeople and facility maintenance professionals use it wherever clean lines, clean removal, and reliable adhesion are required.

This tape is well suited for both interior and exterior applications that involve curved surfaces, irregular contours, or frequent exposure to solvents and abrasion. Common uses include floor lane marking in industrial and commercial facilities, wrapping irregular duct or pipe surfaces, color-coding components, and applying decorative or protective strips. Its dead-stretch properties help it lay flat and straight without lifting at the edges, which is especially valuable in safety marking and any application where line definition matters.

Key Features

• 5.2 mil vinyl backing provides conformability and dead-stretch properties for straighter lines
• Rubber adhesive system delivers strong tack with clean removal
• Maintains color under heavy abrasion conditions
• Good solvent resistance for use in areas exposed to cleaning agents or chemicals
• Conforms to curved and irregular surfaces without splitting or lifting
• Suitable for lane marking, safety striping, color coding, masking, wrapping, and splicing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl marking and masking tape suitable for use on a wide range of smooth, semi-smooth, curved, and irregular surfaces in industrial, commercial, and trade environments.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or loose material before application. Apply with firm, even pressure to ensure full adhesive contact, particularly on curved or textured surfaces. When used for floor lane or safety marking, verify local facility and safety code requirements for marking color and placement. Remove the tape carefully at a low angle to avoid surface damage, especially on painted or coated substrates.
