3M 7000088517 Masking Tape 2.83 in X 60.14 Yd Tan Aerospace

Product Description

The 3M 7000088517 is a crepe paper masking tape engineered for aerospace painting applications where clean removal and heat resistance are critical. The tape uses a rubber adhesive system that delivers strong initial tack and holds firmly through multi-bake and high-temperature bake cycles without lifting. The smooth mini-crepe paper backing conforms around contours and corners while maintaining structural integrity. Licensed aerospace technicians and industrial painters reach for this tape when the job demands reliable performance across multiple thermal cycles.

This masking tape is designed for aerospace paint operations where parts cycle through repeated bake processes. It performs in demanding industrial paint environments that require a tape backing capable of conforming to compound curves and tight radii without tearing in sections. The controlled unwind feature reduces operator fatigue during extended masking runs, making it well-suited for high-volume production environments.

Key Features

• Rubber adhesive provides strong tack and resists lifting through multi-bake cycles
• Clean one-piece removal following high-temperature or repeated bake exposure
• Smooth mini-crepe backing conforms to corners and contoured surfaces
• Strong backing tears cleanly and resists slivering during application
• Controlled unwind dispenses evenly to reduce operator fatigue

Compatibility

Designed for aerospace and industrial painting applications requiring masking tape performance through multi-bake or elevated-temperature cure cycles.

Installation Notes

Application and removal should be performed by personnel familiar with aerospace or industrial paint masking procedures. Apply tape to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and edge definition. Remove tape promptly after the final bake cycle while the part is still warm if recommended by the process specification, and pull at a low angle to ensure one-piece removal without residue.
