3M 7010045101 Polyester Protective Tape 336 1 Inch X 144 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010045101 is a transparent polyester film tape with a very low tack adhesive system engineered for surface protection applications. Sold in a 1-inch-wide by 144-yard roll, this tape is designed to protect polished metal and plastic surfaces during fabrication, handling, and transit. The low tack adhesive provides a target adhesion of greater than 18 grams per inch, which allows for clean removal without leaving residue or causing adhesion buildup over time. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal shops, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly use this tape to guard finished surfaces through production and installation workflows.

This tape is suited for light industrial and commercial applications where temporary surface protection is required. Typical use cases include protecting polished or brushed metal panels, plastic covers, and similar finished surfaces that must remain unmarked through handling or installation. The polyester film backing provides dimensional stability and a degree of conformability to flat or low-contour surfaces. It is applied and removed by hand without special tooling, making it practical for job-site and shop use alike.

Key Features

• Very low tack adhesive with target adhesion greater than 18 grams per inch for clean, residue-free removal
• Transparent polyester film backing for visibility of the protected surface
• 1-inch width by 144-yard length per roll for extended coverage from a single roll
• Minimal adhesion buildup allows tape to remain in place during handling without bonding permanently
• Compatible with polished metal and plastic surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for temporary surface protection on polished metal and plastic surfaces where low tack adhesion and clean removal are required.

Installation Notes

Surface must be clean and free of dust, oils, and debris before application to ensure consistent adhesion across the protected area. Apply with firm, even hand pressure to avoid air pockets. Remove the tape promptly after the protection period has ended, as extended dwell time may affect removal performance on certain surface finishes. No special tools are required for application or removal.
