3M 7010374229 Heavy Duty Protective Tape 346 Tan 6x60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010374229 is a heavy duty flat stock paper tape designed for surface protection during processing and transit. Sold as Tape 346, it features a natural tan paper backing at 16.7 mil thickness combined with a rubber-based adhesive that bonds to a wide range of substrates. The tape is engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, providing reliable protection against scratches, abrasion, and contamination on metals, plastics, and other materials. Each roll measures 6 inches wide by 60 yards long, making it well suited for covering large surface areas efficiently. Fabricators, manufacturers, and maintenance professionals commonly specify this tape for in-process and in-transit protection applications.

Tape 346 is used in manufacturing, fabrication, and shipping environments where temporary surface protection is required. Its construction handles demanding indoor and outdoor conditions, making it appropriate for metal finishing shops, plastics fabricators, and general industrial operations. The 6-inch width covers broad surface spans in fewer passes, reducing application time on sheet stock, panels, and extruded profiles. The roll format is compatible with standard hand-held tape dispensers used in production and warehouse settings.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of oils or loose debris before application to ensure proper adhesion. Apply with firm, even pressure across the full tape width to eliminate air pockets and ensure consistent contact. Remove tape promptly after the protection period to minimize adhesive residue transfer, particularly on finished or painted surfaces. Follow applicable facility safety and handling guidelines when working with tapes in automated production environments.
