3M 7000048790 Polyester Protective Tape 335 Pink 1.6 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048790 is a pink polyester film protective tape designed to shield polished metal and plastic surfaces during fabrication, handling, and transit. The film measures 1.6 mil (0.04 mm) thick and uses a rubber-based adhesive that maintains a low adhesion profile over time, allowing clean removal without leaving residue or causing surface damage. Each roll is 2 inches wide and 144 yards long. Fabricators, finishers, and assembly technicians apply this tape where surface integrity must be preserved through production or shipping processes.

This tape is suited for masking and protecting polished or finished metal components and smooth plastic surfaces in manufacturing and assembly environments. It is applied where temporary surface protection is needed and clean, residue-free removal is required at the end of the process. The reduced adhesion build-up characteristic helps avoid rework and supports consistent finished-product quality across production runs.

Key Features

• 1.6 mil polyester film backing provides durable, conformable surface protection
• Rubber adhesive formulated for minimum adhesion build-up during extended masking
• Removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue on polished metal or plastic
• Pink color aids visual identification and removal verification
• 2 inches wide by 144 yards per roll for efficient coverage on larger runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective masking tape for temporary surface protection of polished metal and smooth plastic substrates in industrial fabrication and assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of oils, dust, and contaminants for best adhesion and cleanest removal. Ensure the tape is applied with even pressure to avoid air pockets that can allow contaminants underneath. Remove the tape promptly after the protection period ends to minimize adhesion build-up; do not expose to elevated temperatures or UV for extended periods unless the application is rated for those conditions. Removal should be done at a low angle and steady speed to keep the film intact.
