3M 7000088417 Masking Tape 3 in 60 Yd 7.2 Mil Tan

Product Description

The 3M 7000088417 is a general-purpose paper masking tape designed for painting, bundling, and surface protection applications across trade and industrial environments. It measures 3 inches wide and 60 yards long, with a 7.2 mil total thickness that provides reliable conformability over irregular surfaces. The rubber-based adhesive delivers consistent tack and holds firmly during application while removing cleanly after bake cycles up to 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. With a tensile strength of 28 lb per inch, this tape resists tearing during hand-application and removal. It is suited for professional painters, automotive refinishers, and general contractors who need a dependable masking tape that performs through temperature exposure without leaving adhesive residue.

This tape is well matched to painting and finishing work in residential and commercial environments. The conformable, tear-resistant paper backing makes it practical for masking straight lines and contoured surfaces alike. It meets ASTM D-6123 standards, making it appropriate for use in paint booths and bake ovens operating at temperatures up to 325 degrees F for 30-minute cycles. Automotive body shops, industrial finishing lines, and general construction crews commonly use this tape for masking trim, hardware, and adjacent surfaces prior to spray or brush application.

Key Features

• Conformable paper backing adapts to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting
• Rubber adhesive removes cleanly at bake temperatures up to 325 degrees F for 30 minutes
• 28 lb per inch tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• 7.2 mil thickness provides added durability compared to lightweight masking tapes
• Meets ASTM D-6123 standard for masking tape performance
• 3 inches wide — suitable for masking broader surfaces and reducing overlap passes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape for painting, surface protection, and bundling applications in automotive, industrial, and construction settings where bake-oven-rated adhesive removal is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and clean removal. Remove tape promptly after painting or at the end of each bake cycle; extended dwell time at elevated temperatures beyond the rated 325 degrees F or 30-minute window may affect clean removal. No special tools are required, but a tape gun or dispenser improves consistency on long masking runs. Dispose of used tape in accordance with local regulations, particularly when tape has contacted solvent-based coatings.
