3M 7000048728 Polyester Tape 8402 Green 6in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048728 is a green polyester film tape designed for high-temperature masking applications across industrial and manufacturing environments. Built on a 1.8 mil polyester film backing, it uses a green pigmented silicone adhesive that bonds reliably to silicone-coated surfaces where standard acrylic or rubber adhesives fail to hold. The green color aids in quick visual identification during production runs, reducing misapplication risk. Each roll measures 6 inches wide by 72 yards long, providing substantial coverage for demanding masking tasks. This tape is sold by the roll and suited for use by industrial maintenance technicians and process engineers working with heat-sensitive assemblies.

This tape is intended for high-temperature masking in industrial settings, particularly where silicone-treated or silicone-coated paper and release liners are involved. It performs in splicing operations for silicone-treated paper, powder-coat masking, and other processes that expose tape to elevated temperatures. The silicone adhesive system allows the tape to maintain adhesion where conventional tapes degrade, making it a practical choice for continuous or batch heat-process environments.

Key Features

• 1.8 mil polyester film backing rated for high-temperature masking use
• Green pigmented silicone adhesive for reliable bonding to silicone-coated surfaces
• Green color allows fast visual identification during splicing and masking workflows
• 6 inches wide by 72 yards long per roll for extended coverage
• Silicone adhesive resists degradation in heat-process applications where acrylic adhesives fail

Compatibility

Designed for use on silicone-coated and silicone-treated paper surfaces; suitable for high-temperature masking and splicing operations in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of contaminants before application for best adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape width when laying the tape to prevent air pockets or lifting edges. Follow facility safety protocols and equipment manufacturer guidelines when using this tape in heated process equipment. Remove the tape after the process cycle while the substrate is still within the recommended handling temperature range to minimize residue risk.
