3M 7000138488 High Temp Masking Tape 501 Plus 1.88 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000138488 is a specialty high-temperature masking tape designed to deliver clean, sharp paint lines on surfaces that reach elevated process temperatures. Built on a tan crepe paper backing, this tape uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive formulated to hold firmly through heat exposure up to 300 degrees F for up to 30 minutes. It is used across automotive, specialty vehicle, and industrial painting operations where adhesive residue or paint bleed-through cannot be tolerated. Licensed trades and industrial paint technicians rely on this tape when process cycles are extended or repeated.

This tape is suited for critical masking work in automotive refinishing shops, specialty vehicle production lines, and general industrial paint operations. Its crepe paper construction allows it to conform around contours, irregular surfaces, and corners without lifting. The low-unwind design makes it easier to handle in wide-width applications where consistent tension control matters. It is appropriate for both short-run and extended process cycles where secure adhesion and clean removal are required.

Key Features

• Withstands surface temperatures up to 300 degrees F for 30 minutes
• Removes cleanly in one piece with no adhesive residue left behind
• Resists paint bleed-through for sharp, defined paint lines
• Conforms to contours, corners, and irregular surfaces
• Low-unwind design improves handling in wide-width applications
• Tan crepe paper backing tears easily and resists slivering
• Holds through multiple or extended process cycles

Compatibility

Designed for critical paint masking applications in automotive, specialty vehicle, and industrial markets where high-temperature performance and clean removal are required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of oil, dust, and loose material before painting. Remove the tape promptly after the heat cycle completes to reduce the risk of adhesive transfer. Do not exceed the rated temperature or time exposure. Tape application and removal should follow the paint system manufacturer's process guidelines.
