3M 7000048609 Paint Masking Film 36in X 1500ft 3.4 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048609 is a high-temperature gross masking film designed for OEM and repair paint operations on automotive, bus, truck, and fascia applications. The film measures 36 inches wide by 1500 feet long and carries a thickness of 3.4 mil. Its soft, flexible construction provides good drape and conformability over complex contours and body lines. The film blocks solvent and paint bleed-through more effectively than standard masking paper and eliminates fiber contamination associated with paper-based masking products. Most production paints and masking tapes bond well directly to the film surface, making it a practical choice for high-volume paint shops and fleet refinishers.

This masking film is suited for OEM two-tone paint lines, blackout masking, and collision repair environments where heat exposure from bake ovens is expected. It is compatible with standard apron-style tape dispensers, allowing tape and film to be dispensed simultaneously for faster masking workflows. Typical users include production painters, auto body technicians, and fleet shop crews working on passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and buses.

Installation Notes

Application and removal should be performed by qualified paint shop personnel following established masking procedures. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before applying film to achieve proper tape-to-film adhesion. Remove masking film promptly after the paint process is complete to prevent adhesive transfer or film distortion. Follow the vehicle or equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when working with solvent-based coatings.
