3M 7000088348 Masking Tape 1 Inch 60 Yard

Product Description

The 3M 7000088348 is a paper-backed masking tape designed for paint masking applications in automotive, industrial, and general maintenance environments. It measures 1 inch wide and 60 yards long with a 7.9 mil total thickness. The rubber adhesive bonds securely during painting and releases cleanly without leaving residue, making it reliable for controlled masking work on a variety of surfaces. A tensile strength of 29 lb/in allows the tape to hold under moderate mechanical stress during application and removal. Licensed painters, body shop technicians, and maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This tape is suited for paint masking on surfaces that will see bake-cycle temperatures, such as in automotive refinishing booths or industrial coating operations. It conforms to curved and irregular surfaces without tearing, which reduces rework time on complex geometries. The tan paper backing is easy to see against most substrate colors, aiding precise edge placement. It performs reliably up to 325 degrees F for up to 30 minutes at bake temperature, which covers the majority of low-bake automotive and industrial paint cure cycles.

Key Features

• Removes cleanly at bake temperatures up to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C) for 30 minutes without adhesive transfer
• Rubber adhesive with paint flake-resistant properties for clean paint lines
• Conformable paper backing adapts to curved and irregular surfaces
• 29 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Adhesive transfer-resistant construction minimizes surface prep after removal
• Meets ASTM D-6123 standard

Compatibility

Designed for paint masking applications in automotive refinishing, industrial coating, and general maintenance painting where bake-cycle resistance and clean removal are required. Not suitable for outdoor or prolonged UV exposure.

Installation Notes

Apply tape to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and clean edge definition. Do not subject this tape to outdoor exposure or temperatures exceeding 325 degrees F. Remove tape promptly after the bake cycle or paint cure while the surface is still warm for cleanest release. No special tools are required, but a tape dispenser or hand roller improves consistent pressure application on large masking jobs.
