3M 7000088418 Performance Masking Tape 2380 Tan 3.94 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000088418 is a heavy-duty mini-crepe paper masking tape engineered for industrial paint masking applications. Designated as Performance Masking Tape 2380, it handles the full range of drying conditions from air dry through oven bake cycles up to 325 degrees F. The aggressive adhesive bonds instantly to most surfaces without lifting or curling, while the heavy crepe paper backing prevents paint bleed-through. The tape tears cleanly by hand and comes off in one piece after bake cycles, leaving no adhesive residue. It is used by automotive, industrial, and manufacturing finishing technicians who require a consistent, sharp paint line under demanding thermal conditions.

Performance Masking Tape 2380 is suited for industrial spray and bake finishing environments where temperature resistance is critical. Typical applications include masking body panels, metal assemblies, and production line components during primer and topcoat operations. The tape performs across air-dry lacquers, waterborne basecoats, and solvent-borne systems baked at elevated temperatures. It is equally applicable in general manufacturing environments where clean removal and paint line integrity are required after heat exposure.

Key Features

• Withstands bake temperatures up to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) with clean removal after 30 minutes at temperature
• Heavy crepe paper backing resists paint bleed-through during spray application
• Adhesive bonds instantly to most surfaces and holds without lifting or curling
• Resists slivering when exposed to high heat, supporting one-piece removal
• Easy hand-tear backing speeds application on production lines and repair workflows
• Tan color provides clear visual contrast against most substrate surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial masking tape suitable for automotive refinishing, manufacturing assembly, and general industrial paint masking operations where bake-cycle resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces for best adhesion and paint line quality. Ensure the tape is fully seated along edges to prevent paint bleed before spraying. Remove the tape after the bake cycle while the substrate is still warm for cleanest one-piece removal. Follow applicable facility safety and ventilation procedures when working in spray and bake environments.
