3M 7000088501 Masking Tape 38mm 60yd 6.5mil Brown

Product Description

The 3M 7000088501 is a brown paper masking tape from the 3M 2517 series, designed for demanding industrial and trade applications where heat resistance and reliable adhesion are required. The tape measures 38 mm (1.5 inches) wide and 60 yards (180 feet) long, with a 6.5 mil overall thickness. It uses a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive that bonds instantly on contact and is moisture-resistant for use in harsh environments. Rated for bake cycles up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) for 30 minutes, it holds up in paint booths, automotive refinishing lines, and high-temperature assembly operations. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This tape is suited for box closing, bundling, holding, sealing, and splicing tasks across light industrial, automotive, and general maintenance environments. Its easy-tear construction allows hand-dispensing without cutting tools, and it is also compatible with machine dispensing equipment. The moisture-resistant backing makes it appropriate for applications where surface condensation or brief fluid exposure is a concern. It performs in both shop floor and controlled manufacturing settings where a clean, residue-conscious masking solution is needed.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion. When using in high-temperature bake applications, do not exceed the rated 300 degrees F limit or the 30-minute bake cycle duration specified for this product. Remove tape promptly after the application cycle is complete to minimize adhesive residue transfer. Machine-dispensing equipment should be set to appropriate tension to avoid stretching the backing during application.
