3M 7010311705 Heavy Duty Protective Tape 346 Tan 4in X 60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010311705 is a heavy duty flat stock paper tape designed for surface protection during fabrication, processing, and transit. Tan in color, this roll measures 4 inches wide by 60 yards long and carries a 16.7 mil total thickness. The tape is constructed from a natural-colored paper backing with a rubber-based adhesive that bonds reliably to metals, plastics, and a wide range of substrates. Trade professionals use it to mask and shield finished or semi-finished surfaces from scratches, contamination, and handling damage both indoors and outdoors. It is suited for production environments, job sites, and shipping applications where temporary but durable surface protection is required.

This tape is used in industrial and construction settings where metal panels, plastic sheeting, and processed materials need temporary protection from abrasion and environmental exposure. It handles indoor staging areas as well as outdoor transit conditions. Typical users include fabricators, machinists, HVAC sheet metal shops, contractors, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable masking and protection solution during part handling or installation workflows.

Installation Notes

Application requires a clean, dry surface free of oils, dust, and loose particles for proper adhesion. No special tools are required beyond a tape dispenser or utility knife for cutting. Remove the tape promptly after the protection period to reduce the risk of adhesive residue buildup, particularly on painted or coated surfaces. Consult the surface manufacturer guidelines when applying to sensitive finishes.
