3M 7000049603 Polyester Tape 8902 Blue 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000049603 is a blue polyester tape designed for high-temperature masking applications where clean removal and strong adhesion are critical. The tape features a 3.4 mil thick, non-slivering polyester backing combined with a high-temperature silicone adhesive that releases cleanly without leaving residue. At 2 inches wide and 72 yards long, each roll provides substantial coverage for industrial masking tasks. This tape is commonly applied by finishing technicians and trade professionals working in powder coat operations and surface treatment environments.

This tape is suited for powder coat paint masking, where a clean, defined edge is required and the tape must withstand elevated oven temperatures without adhesive bleed or edge lifting. It is also used for splicing silicone-treated release liners and similar materials where standard tapes fail to adhere. The combination of a tough polyester backing and silicone adhesive makes it appropriate for industrial finishing lines, coating booths, and converting operations handling silicone-surface substrates.

Key Features

• 3.4 mil non-slivering polyester backing resists tearing and splitting during removal
• High-temperature silicone adhesive bonds to silicone-treated surfaces where acrylic adhesives will not
• Clean-removing adhesive leaves no residue after high-temperature exposure
• 2 inches x 72 yard roll format provides full-length coverage for production-scale masking
• Blue color provides visual contrast against typical workpiece surfaces for easy identification and removal verification

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finishing or coating technicians prior to powder coat or high-temperature paint processes. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before tape is applied. Remove the tape promptly after the process cycle is complete to ensure clean adhesive release. Refer to applicable facility safety and finishing process guidelines when working in or around coating ovens.
