3M 7000048741 Impact Stripping Tape 500 Green 30x10yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048741 is a heavy-duty impact stripping tape designed to protect aircraft skins during paint removal operations. The tape features a specially compounded rubber backing at 33.0 mil thickness paired with an acrylic adhesive system and a silicone easy-release liner. It comes in a 30-inch-wide by 10-yard roll and is used by aviation maintenance technicians and surface prep crews performing plastic media blast and sandblast paint stripping procedures. The green backing provides clear visual confirmation of coverage during masking. The robust 33.0 mil construction resists blasting media penetration while the acrylic adhesive maintains bond integrity through the stripping process without leaving residue.

This tape is used in aircraft maintenance and refinishing environments where controlled paint removal is required. Primary applications include protecting fuselage skins, wing panels, and other aircraft surfaces during impact stripping and sandblasting operations. It is also used for masking wood and glass sign surfaces during sandblast paint removal. The wide 30-inch format reduces the number of overlapping strips needed on large surface areas, improving masking efficiency on airframes and sign panels alike.

Key Features

• 33.0 mil thick specially compounded rubber backing resists blasting media penetration
• Acrylic adhesive bonds securely to aircraft skins without leaving residue
• Silicone easy-release liner simplifies application and unwind during masking
• 30-inch width reduces overlap seams on large surface masking jobs
• Green backing provides clear visual coverage confirmation during prep work
• Suitable for plastic media blast, sandblasting, and impact stripping operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in aircraft paint stripping applications involving plastic media blast and sandblast methods, as well as sandblast paint removal on wood and glass sign surfaces.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by qualified aviation maintenance technicians or experienced surface preparation personnel following applicable facility and regulatory masking procedures. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before applying the tape to achieve proper adhesive bond. Remove the silicone easy-release liner immediately before application and press the tape firmly across the surface to eliminate air pockets and edge lifting. Remove tape promptly after the stripping operation is complete to prevent adhesive transfer.
