3M 7010373496 Scotch 226 Masking Tape Black 0.5 in X 60 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010373496 is the Scotch 226 Solvent Resistant Masking Tape, a black polyethylene film laminated over saturated crepe paper designed to protect surfaces from a broad range of chemical attack. The polyethylene backing resists many solvents, water solutions, emulsions, wax-base paint strippers, and mild caustic solvent-emulsion solutions. A high-tack rubber adhesive provides strong initial grab across varied surfaces. The tape measures 0.5 inches wide and runs 60 yards per roll, making it practical for masking operations that require chemical and moisture protection over extended durations.

Scotch 226 is suited for industrial and commercial masking applications where solvent exposure is a concern. Typical uses include spray finishing, chemical processing masking, surface protection during paint stripping operations, and outdoor masking for up to three months of exposure. The tape tears by hand for fast application and removes cleanly from most opaque surfaces without leaving adhesive residue, reducing rework time during finishing and coating workflows.

Key Features

• Polyethylene film laminated over saturated crepe paper for strong chemical resistance
• Resists many solvents, water-based solutions, emulsions, and wax-base paint strippers
• High-tack rubber adhesive bonds securely across a variety of surfaces
• Rated for up to three months of outdoor exposure with clean removal from most opaque surfaces
• Tears by hand for fast, tool-free application in the field

Compatibility

Designed for use as a solvent-resistant masking tape in industrial, commercial, and trade finishing applications where chemical and moisture protection is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying masking tape — ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of oils or loose material for maximum adhesion. When used in spray or chemical operations, verify the specific solvents or strippers in use are within the resistance profile of this tape prior to masking. Remove the tape promptly after the operation is complete and within the rated outdoor exposure window to ensure clean removal without adhesive transfer.
