3M 7000048779 Vinyl Marking Tape Black 12in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048779 is a black vinyl marking and masking tape built for trade and industrial environments where clean lines, color retention, and surface conformability matter. The tape features a 5.2 mil vinyl backing with a rubber-based adhesive that bonds to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or shifting. Dead-stretch properties keep edges straight during application, making it well suited for lane striping, safety marking, and color-coding layouts. The vinyl construction resists heavy abrasion and holds color under sustained surface contact. When removal is needed, the tape pulls away cleanly without leaving residue behind.

This tape is used in facilities maintenance, industrial plants, warehouses, and shops where floor lanes, equipment marking, or surface identification must hold up to foot and equipment traffic. Common applications include safety zone marking, abrasion protection on pipe and conduit, splicing operations, and decorative banding on curved or cylindrical surfaces. Each roll measures 12 inches wide by 36 yards long and is sold in a minimum quantity of 4 rolls per order.

Compatibility

Designed for use on a wide range of surfaces including concrete floors, metal pipe, conduit, and equipment housings where vinyl marking or masking tape is the specified product type.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of oils or loose material before application. Apply firm hand pressure across the full tape width to ensure full adhesive contact, particularly on curved surfaces. For floor marking applications, use a tape applicator tool to maintain consistent tension and straight edges. Remove tape at a low angle to the surface to minimize the risk of substrate damage or adhesive transfer.
