3M 7000048458 Fine Line Masking Tape 0.5 in X 60 Yd Green

Product Description

The 3M 7000048458 is a fine line masking tape built on a specialty processed film backing that delivers sharp, clean paint lines in automotive, industrial, and finishing applications. At 5.0 mils thick, the tape maintains a low profile that virtually eliminates paint bleed and ridging at the tape edge. The film backing stretches to conform smoothly around curves while still tracking straight on long runs. Adhesion to steel measures 37 oz. per inch of width, and tensile strength reaches 13 lbs. per inch of width, giving the tape the durability to stay in place through the full paint cycle without lifting or flagging.

This tape is used in body shops, manufacturing finishing lines, and precision painting applications where clean color separation is critical. Its film construction allows removal over fresh paint sooner than conventional paper masking tapes, reducing the risk of imprint damage to newly applied finishes. The tape also provides strong resistance to moisture and solvents, making it suitable for wet-spray environments. It is not intended for outdoor or prolonged UV exposure. Each roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 60 yards long, sold in a minimum quantity of 12 rolls per order.
