3M 7000050050 Fine Line Masking Tape 3/16 in X 60 Yd 5.0 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000050050 is a fine line film-backed masking tape designed for paint line separation, masking, and holding applications in automotive, industrial, and finishing work. At 5.0 mil thickness, the tape lays flat with a low profile that promotes sharp, clean color break lines. The specialty-processed film backing stretches to follow smooth curves without lifting or distorting, and also handles long straight runs cleanly. Adhesion to steel measures 37 oz per inch width, with tensile strength of 13 lbs per inch width and elongation at break of 720 percent. Rated for use up to 250 degrees F.

This tape is suited for automotive body shops, manufacturing paint lines, and finish work where precise color separation is required. Its film backing allows application over fresh paint sooner than conventional paper masking tapes, reducing the risk of imprint damage to underlying coats. The tape also provides solid moisture and solvent resistance, making it reliable in spray environments. It is not rated for prolonged outdoor exposure and should be removed from surfaces according to the temperature and duration guidelines for the application.

Key Features

• 5.0 mil film backing delivers low profile for sharp, clean paint lines

Compatibility

Designed as a fine line masking tape for automotive refinishing, industrial paint operations, and precision masking applications where a thin, conformable film-backed tape is required.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by automotive painters, body shop technicians, and industrial finishing professionals. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the tape to achieve full adhesion. Remove the tape at a low angle after painting, within the recommended time and temperature window, to avoid lifting fresh coatings or leaving adhesive residue. Do not expose this tape to outdoor conditions or direct UV for extended periods.
