3M 7000088384 Masking Tape 38mm 60yd 6.5 Mil Tan

Product Description

The 3M 7000088384 is a general-purpose paper masking tape designed for a wide range of light industrial and trade applications. It measures 38 mm (approximately 1.5 inches) wide and 60 yards long, with a 6.5 mil total thickness. The tan paper backing is coated with a rubber adhesive that delivers a tensile strength of 24 lb per inch. It is rated for use up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) for up to 30 minutes and removes cleanly at bake temperature without leaving residue. HVAC technicians, painters, electricians, and general tradespeople keep this tape on hand for surface protection, bundling, and temporary fastening tasks.

This tape suits residential and light commercial jobsite work where a reliable, removable masking solution is needed. Common applications include paint masking on HVAC equipment, ductwork, and pipe runs during spray or brush finishing, as well as bundling wire harnesses, labeling components, sealing vapor barrier edges temporarily, and reinforcing lightweight packaging. It performs in both ambient shop conditions and short-duration high-temperature oven or bake cycles, making it practical for coating and finishing operations.

Key Features

• Removes cleanly after bake cycles up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) for 30 minutes without adhesive transfer
• 24 lb per inch tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• 6.5 mil thickness provides reliable conformability to irregular surfaces
• Rubber adhesive bonds to metal, plastic, glass, and painted surfaces
• Long 60-yard roll reduces roll changes during high-volume work
• Meets ASTM D-6123 standard

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape suitable for bundling, holding, identifying, paint masking, reinforcing, sealing, splicing, tabbing, and wrapping tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and moisture for best adhesion. Remove tape promptly after painting or bake cycles to prevent adhesive transfer or backing damage. No special tools are required, though a tape dispenser improves cut quality and reduces waste on repetitive masking work. Follow all applicable safety and ventilation guidelines when using this tape near spray coatings or high-temperature equipment.
