3M 7010312118 Paint Masking Tape 1.5 in 60 Yd Aerospace

Product Description

The 3M 7010312118 is a crepe paper masking tape rated for aerospace painting applications, including multi-bake and high-temperature bake cycles. The tape uses a rubber adhesive that delivers strong tack and adhesion while resisting edge lifting during the paint process. At 1.5 inches wide and 60 yards long per roll, it covers broad masking runs without frequent splicing. The smooth mini-crepe paper backing conforms around contours and corners while maintaining structural integrity, and the controlled unwind reduces hand fatigue during extended masking work. Aerospace painters, surface prep technicians, and finishing shops are the primary installers of this product.

This tape is suited for aerospace paint masking where multiple oven bake cycles are part of the finishing process. The rubber adhesive system allows clean removal from most substrates after high-temperature exposure without leaving adhesive residue or damaging coatings. The backing is engineered for one-piece removal, minimizing cleanup time between bake cycles. It is also applicable in general industrial and automotive refinishing environments where a durable, conformable masking tape is required for complex geometry or multi-stage paint work.

Key Features

• Rubber adhesive provides strong tack and resists lifting during bake cycles
• Clean removal after multi-bake or high-temperature bake without adhesive transfer
• Smooth mini-crepe paper backing conforms to corners and curved surfaces
• Strong backing tears cleanly and resists slivering for one-piece removal
• Controlled unwind for consistent, fatigue-reducing dispensing
• 1.5 inch width and 60 yard length per roll for efficient coverage

Compatibility

Designed for aerospace painting applications requiring multi-bake cycle performance; also suitable for general industrial and automotive refinishing masking work on a variety of painted and unpainted substrates.

Installation Notes

Surface prep technicians and painters apply this tape. Ensure the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or loose material before application for maximum adhesion. Apply firm pressure along the tape edge to prevent paint bleed. Remove tape at a low angle while the substrate is still warm after baking to promote clean adhesive release.
