3M 7000088509 Performance Flatback Tape 2525 Orange 72mm X 55m

Product Description

The 3M 7000088509 is a Performance Flatback Tape rated at 9.5 mil total thickness, designed for holding, splicing, and masking applications that demand high adhesion strength, high backing strength, and reliable performance at elevated temperatures. The orange-colored paper backing allows quick visual identification on the job. Adhesion to steel measures 69 oz per inch of width, and tensile strength reaches 49 lbs per inch of width. Elongation at break is 2 percent, indicating a firm, low-stretch backing suited to clean, straight masking lines. Licensed HVAC, industrial, and manufacturing technicians use this tape where conventional masking products fall short under heat or moisture exposure.

This tape is well suited for high-temperature masking during powder coating, painting, or curing cycles up to 300 degrees F. It also performs in splicing and bundling tasks where a strong, moisture-resistant hold is required. The orange backing makes it useful in applications where a colored marker tape is needed for workflow identification or process control. It is sold in a 72mm x 55m roll format and is not recommended for permanent outdoor exposure.

Key Features

• Temperature resistance up to 300 degrees F for demanding masking and splicing applications
• High adhesion to steel at 69 oz per inch of width
• Tensile strength of 49 lbs per inch of width with only 2 percent elongation at break
• Resistant to moist conditions during use
• Orange backing provides visual identification and process-control utility
• 9.5 mil total tape thickness for robust backing strength

Compatibility

Designed for holding, splicing, and masking applications in industrial, manufacturing, and trade settings where high adhesion strength, high temperature capability, and high backing strength are required. Not recommended for outdoor applications.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. Power down or shut off any process equipment before applying tape in live electrical or heated environments. Remove tape promptly after use in high-temperature cycles to minimize adhesive transfer. Consult applicable facility safety codes when using in regulated industrial environments.
