3M 7000048932 Nylon Film Tape 855 White 3 in X 72 Yd 3.2 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048932 is a high temperature nylon film tape designed for demanding masking and bonding applications in composite fabrication and metal bonding work. Built on a 3.2 mil nylon film backing, the tape uses a non-silicone rubber adhesive that holds reliably under elevated process temperatures. At 3 inches wide and 72 yards long, each roll covers substantial surface area without mid-job splicing. Aerospace fabricators, composites technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install this tape where conventional masking products fail due to heat or adhesive bleed-through.

This tape is well suited for advanced composite and metal bond masking operations. It sees regular use in composite bagging processes and is a practical choice for helping remove flashing after composite bonding is complete. The nylon film construction resists stretching during application, making it easier to lay clean, straight mask lines on curved or contoured surfaces. Applications span aerospace, automotive composites, and industrial manufacturing environments where high process temperatures are standard.

Key Features

• 3.2 mil nylon film backing withstands high process temperatures without backing failure
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive prevents contamination concerns in silicone-sensitive bonding environments
• 3 inches wide by 72 yards long for extended coverage per roll
• Suited for composite bagging operations and post-bond flash removal
• Resists stretching for consistent masking on complex or contoured surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style masking and process tape for high temperature composite fabrication and metal bonding applications where non-silicone adhesive chemistry is required.

Installation Notes

Application and removal should be performed by technicians familiar with composite fabrication or industrial masking processes. Ensure the substrate surface is clean and free of contamination before applying the tape to achieve proper adhesion. Remove the tape promptly after the process cycle is complete to minimize residue risk. Follow facility safety protocols and applicable process specifications when working in elevated-temperature environments.
