3M 7000088507 Performance Flatback Tape 2525 Orange 36mm X 55m

Product Description

The 3M 7000088507 is a high-performance flatback tape designed for holding, splicing, and masking applications that demand high adhesion strength, high backing strength, and reliable performance at elevated temperatures. Rated for use up to 300 degrees F, this tape delivers 69 oz. of adhesion per inch of width and a tensile strength of 49 lbs. per inch of width. The orange crepe paper backing has a total thickness of 9.5 mils and holds up in moist conditions without losing grip. It is well suited for trade and industrial environments where a color-coded or colored-backing tape is required for process identification or visual clarity.

This tape is used in manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, automotive masking, and industrial assembly where temporary bonding or splicing must survive heat exposure. Its resistance to moisture makes it a practical choice in humid job sites or during processes that involve steam or water contact. The orange color backing also aids in quick identification during multi-tape masking setups. Note that this tape is not recommended for permanent outdoor applications or prolonged UV exposure.

Key Features

• Temperature resistance up to 300 degrees F — suitable for paint booths, ovens, and high-heat industrial processes
• High adhesion to steel at 69 oz. per inch of width
• Tensile strength of 49 lbs. per inch of width with only 2% elongation at break — minimal stretch under load
• Total tape thickness of 9.5 mils for consistent, controlled masking lines
• Resistant to moist conditions — maintains bond integrity in humid environments
• Orange backing supports color-coded masking workflows and easy visual identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flatback masking and splicing tape for use in holding, splicing, and masking applications across HVAC fabrication, industrial manufacturing, and surface preparation processes where high adhesion and high-temperature performance are required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion results. Remove tape promptly after completing the masking or splicing process to minimize adhesive residue, particularly on painted or coated surfaces. This product is not intended for permanent outdoor installations or extended UV exposure. Surface preparation tradespeople and industrial technicians should confirm substrate compatibility before use in critical applications.
