3M 7000048552 Polyester Tape 8402 Green 1in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048552 is a green polyester film tape designed for high-temperature masking and splicing applications. Built on a 1.8 mil polyester film carrier, it uses a green pigmented silicone adhesive that bonds reliably to silicone-coated surfaces where standard acrylic or rubber-based adhesives fail. The green color provides clear visual identification on the line, reducing misapplication. This tape is sold by the roll and is appropriate for use by industrial maintenance technicians, converter operations, and production line personnel working with heat-sensitive or silicone-treated substrates.

This tape is suited for masking during high-temperature processes such as powder coating, anodizing, and other thermal curing operations where conventional masking tapes break down. It is also used when splicing silicone-treated release liners and papers, where the silicone adhesive maintains contact with low-surface-energy materials that other adhesives cannot grip. Both light industrial and production environments rely on this tape for repeatable, clean-removal masking at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• 1.8 mil polyester film backing resists tearing and holds dimensional stability under heat
• Green pigmented silicone adhesive adheres to silicone-coated and low-surface-energy substrates
• Color-coded green for easy identification and reduced misapplication on busy production lines
• Designed for high-temperature masking where acrylic or rubber adhesives are not suitable
• Effective for splicing silicone-treated paper and release liner materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style masking solution for high-temperature industrial applications involving silicone-coated surfaces, release liners, and thermal processing operations.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and contaminants for best adhesion. Ensure the substrate temperature is within the recommended application range before taping. Remove the tape promptly after the thermal process cycle while the substrate is still warm to reduce the risk of adhesive residue. Handle rolls carefully to avoid edge damage that can cause uneven unwind tension.
