3M 7000049602 Blue Polyester Tape 1 Inch X 72 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000049602 is a blue polyester tape engineered for high-temperature masking and splicing applications. It features a clean-removing silicone adhesive that releases without leaving residue, even after heat exposure, and a non-slivering polyester backing that resists tearing during removal. The tape measures 1 inch wide by 72 yards long and has an overall thickness of 3.4 mil (0.09 mm). It is commonly installed by powder coating professionals, industrial painters, and production line technicians who need a masking solution that holds through elevated cure temperatures without lifting or flagging.

This tape is suited for powder coat paint masking operations where clean adhesive removal after oven cycling is required. It also performs in splicing applications involving silicone-treated release liners, papers, and films. The combination of a dimensionally stable polyester film backing and a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive makes it appropriate for controlled factory and production environments where tape integrity and clean removal are critical to finished-part quality.

Key Features

• Clean-removing silicone adhesive leaves no residue after high-temperature exposure
• Non-slivering polyester backing resists splitting and tearing on removal
• 3.4 mil total thickness provides conformability with reliable edge seal
• 1 inch x 72 yard roll format suits standard masking and splicing workflows
• Designed for powder coat paint masking and silicone-treated material splicing

Compatibility

Designed for use in powder coat paint masking and splicing of silicone-treated materials in industrial and production environments.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by trained production or finishing technicians familiar with masking tape placement for powder coat or high-temperature paint processes. Apply to clean, dry, and oil-free surfaces for best adhesion and edge seal. Remove tape promptly after the process cycle while the part is still within the recommended removal temperature range to maintain clean release. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as this can cause flagging or edge lifting during heat exposure.
