3M 7000050052 Fine Line Masking Tape 1/16 in X 60 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000050052 is a green, film-backed fine line masking tape rated at 5.0 mil thickness for precise paint line work and controlled masking applications. The specialty-processed film backing delivers low profile and high adhesion, producing clean, sharp color separation even on long straight runs. The same backing stretches easily to follow smooth curves without lifting or buckling. At 1/16 inches wide and 60 yards per roll, it is sized for detail work where standard masking tape is too wide. Temperature resistance up to 250 degrees F allows use in production paint environments without adhesive breakdown or imprint damage to fresh finishes.

This tape is used in automotive refinishing, industrial painting, and precision masking applications where a clean, hard paint edge is required. The thin film profile lets technicians apply it directly over recently painted surfaces sooner than paper-backed alternatives, reducing the risk of surface damage or adhesive transfer. It handles both straight panel lines and curved body contours, making it a standard choice for body shop technicians, industrial painters, and maintenance professionals working on detailed finishing jobs.

Key Features

• 5.0 mil total thickness provides low profile for sharp, clean paint line separation
• Specialty film backing stretches for smooth curves without tearing or edge lift
• Temperature rated up to 250 degrees F for use in production paint booths
• Adhesion to steel of 37 oz per inch width ensures tape stays in place during application
• Tensile strength of 13 lbs per inch width with 720 percent elongation at break
• Excellent moisture and solvent resistance during masking operations

Compatibility

Designed for use as a fine line masking tape in automotive refinishing, industrial coating, and general paint masking applications where a thin, flexible film-backed tape is required. Not suitable for outdoor exposure or unprotected exterior use.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by trained finishing or paint technicians following the coating manufacturer's masking guidelines. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying tape to achieve proper adhesion and a clean paint edge. Remove tape promptly after painting while the coating is still at the appropriate cure stage to minimize adhesive transfer or edge chipping. Do not leave tape exposed to outdoor conditions or UV light for extended periods.
