3M 7000049593 Polyester Tape 8911 Transparent 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000049593 is a transparent polyester film tape with a silicone adhesive backing, sold in a 2-inch-wide by 72-yard roll. At 2.8 mil (0.07 mm) thick, the polyester film carrier provides dimensional stability and resistance to elevated temperatures, making clean removal possible after exposure to heat. The silicone adhesive bonds securely during the masking process and releases without leaving adhesive residue on the substrate. Electricians, composites fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this tape in demanding process environments.

This tape is suited for high-temperature masking operations where a standard acrylic-adhesive tape would fail or leave residue. Common applications include powder coat masking, anodizing, and plating operations where the tape must survive elevated process temperatures. It is also used in composite bonding layups, film splicing, and general polyester tape applications that require a transparent carrier for visual alignment or inspection. The 2-inch width accommodates a wide range of masking and splicing tasks without requiring overlap passes on larger surfaces.

Key Features

• Transparent polyester film carrier allows visual alignment during masking and splicing
• 2.8 mil (0.07 mm) film thickness provides dimensional stability under process stress
• Silicone adhesive designed for clean removal after high-temperature exposure
• Suitable for composite bonding, film splicing, and industrial masking operations
• 2-inch width by 72-yard roll length for extended coverage per roll

Compatibility

Designed for high-temperature masking, composite bonding, and splicing applications requiring a transparent polyester tape carrier with silicone adhesive.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry, and grease-free surfaces for best adhesion and cleanest removal. Ensure the tape is pressed firmly along all edges before subjecting the assembly to elevated process temperatures. Remove the tape promptly after the process cycle cools to the recommended handling temperature to prevent adhesive transfer. No specialized tools are required for application, but a tape gun or dispenser is recommended for consistent tension on long masking runs.
