3M 7010374468 High Temperature Masking Tape 1.5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010374468 is a specialty high temperature crepe paper masking tape engineered for aerospace decorative painting applications. Sold as the 5501A series, it withstands surface temperatures up to 300 degrees F for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for low to moderate temperature bake cycles common in aircraft finish work. The tape features a strong crepe paper backing designed for pulling long, accurate layout lines, and it tears cleanly without splintering during de-masking. Licensed HVAC, paint, and aerospace technicians working within FAA marking specifications will find the inch-based width sizing directly compatible with those requirements.

This tape is designed for specialized aerospace masking where clean removal after multiple bake cycles is critical. It performs in controlled production environments where paint adhesion, masking accuracy, and residue-free removal are all required in the same application. The controlled unwind tension reduces applicator fatigue on large surface layouts. While its primary application is aerospace, the high temperature tolerance and strong backing also make it suitable for other industrial painting and masking tasks that involve elevated surface temperatures.

Key Features

• Withstands surface temperatures up to 300 degrees F for 30 minutes
• Crepe paper backing provides high tensile strength for pulling long layout lines
• Clean removal after multiple moderate temperature bake cycles without adhesive residue
• Inch-based widths sized to meet FAA decorative marking requirements
• Controlled unwind reduces applicator fatigue and improves placement accuracy
• Tears cleanly and resists splintering during de-masking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style specialty masking solution for aerospace decorative painting and high temperature industrial masking applications where clean removal through bake cycles is required.

Installation Notes

Application and removal should be performed by qualified paint or aerospace technicians following applicable facility and regulatory guidelines. Ensure the substrate surface is clean and dry before applying the tape. Do not exceed the rated temperature or time exposure limits, as overexposure may affect clean removal. Remove the tape promptly after the bake cycle cools to the recommended handling temperature to minimize adhesive transfer risk.
