3M 7000138489 High Temperature Masking Tape 2.83 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000138489 is a specialty high-temperature masking tape designed for critical paint masking in automotive, specialty vehicle, and industrial applications. This tan crepe paper tape withstands surface temperatures up to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 30 minutes, making it suitable for use in paint booths and bake cycles where standard masking tapes fail. It applies at 2.83 inches wide and is sold by the roll. The tape features a low-unwind construction for improved handling in wide-width applications, and the backing tears cleanly without slivering. Automotive painters, body shop technicians, and industrial finishers install this tape where sharp paint lines and residue-free removal are required.

This tape is used in automotive refinishing, specialty vehicle production, and general industrial paint masking where surfaces are exposed to elevated process temperatures. It conforms well around corners, over body contours, and across irregular surfaces, reducing the need for multiple tape runs. Extended process cycles and repeated use are supported without adhesive transfer or bleed-through. It is well suited for both production-line and repair shop environments where clean removal after curing is critical.

Key Features

• Withstands surface temperatures up to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 30 minutes
• Removes cleanly in one piece with no adhesive residue
• Resists paint bleed-through for sharp, defined paint lines
• Tan crepe paper backing tears easily and resists slivering
• Conforms around corners, contours, and irregular surfaces
• Low-unwind construction improves handling in wide-width applications

Compatibility

Designed for critical paint masking in automotive refinishing, specialty vehicle production, and industrial coating applications where high-temperature process cycles are required.

Installation Notes

Applied by automotive painters and industrial finishing technicians as part of standard masking procedures. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for best adhesion. Remove tape promptly after the process cycle while the surface is still warm to reduce residue risk. Do not exceed the rated temperature or dwell time for the adhesive system.
