3M 7000048429 Polyethylene Film Tape 2 in X 36 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048429 is a polyethylene film tape from the 3M Series 444 line, designed for general-purpose masking, sealing, and surface protection applications. It features an acrylic adhesive that bonds to a range of surfaces and holds through typical handling and processing conditions. The tape measures 2 inches wide and 36 yards long, with a total thickness of 3.9 mil. The polyethylene film backing provides a flexible, moisture-resistant carrier suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Trade professionals use this tape in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction workflows where a clean-removing, low-profile film tape is required.

This tape is suited for light-duty bundling, surface masking during painting or coating, and temporary sealing of vapor barriers and plastic sheeting. The 2-inch width makes it practical for lapping seams or covering moderate-width joints. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors during rough-in and finishing stages. The 36-yard roll length provides enough coverage for small to mid-size jobs without excess waste.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose particles for best adhesion. No special tools are required beyond a tape dispenser or utility knife for cutting. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer recommendations when using tape as part of a vapor barrier or air-sealing assembly. Remove the tape before surfaces are subjected to temperatures or conditions outside the rated range of the product.
