3M 7000048423 Fine Line Masking Tape 0.75in X 60yd Green

Product Description

The 3M 7000048423 is a green, film-backed fine line masking tape designed for precision paint masking, color separation, and holding applications in automotive, industrial, and finishing work. At 5.0 mils thick, the tape maintains a low profile that helps eliminate paint bleed and edge buildup. The specially processed film backing stretches to conform to curves while holding firm on long straight runs. Adhesion to steel is rated at 37 oz. per inch of width, and the tape handles temperatures up to 250 degrees F. Licensed tradespeople and finishing professionals in body shops and industrial paint facilities are the primary users of this product.

This tape is well suited for automotive refinishing, cabinetry finishing, and precision masking on production lines where clean paint line separation is required. The film backing allows application over fresh paint sooner than conventional paper masking tapes, reducing the risk of imprint damage to the underlying surface. It provides strong resistance to moisture and solvents during the masking process. This tape is intended for indoor use only and should not be exposed to outdoor weathering conditions.
