3M 7100016326 Masking Tape 1 in 60 Yd Orange

Product Description

The 3M 7100016326 is an orange paper masking tape engineered for bundling, color coding, holding, reinforcing, and splicing applications across industrial and trade environments. It measures 1 inch wide and 60 yards long with a 9.5 mil thickness, providing a strong, conformable backing that tears cleanly by hand. The rubber adhesive delivers pressure-sensitive bonding and excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces. At 49 pounds per inch tensile strength, the backing resists tearing under moderate stress. This tape is rated for use up to 300 degrees F, making it suitable for controlled heat environments such as powder coating or paint bake cycles.

This tape is used in manufacturing, maintenance, electrical, and finishing operations where a reliable, removable hold is needed without leaving heavy residue. Common applications include bundling components, color-coding wiring or piping runs, temporarily holding parts during assembly, reinforcing edges or seams, and splicing materials on production lines. The moisture-resistant construction helps maintain adhesion in light-duty wet or humid conditions during a work cycle.

Key Features

• Easy hand tear — no tools required for dispensing
• Pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive with excellent adhesion
• Moisture-resistant paper backing holds up in light-humidity environments
• Rated to 300 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• 49 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing under moderate load
• Suitable for bundling, color coding, holding, reinforcing, and splicing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape for industrial, maintenance, and trade use on surfaces where a removable, pressure-sensitive bond is required. Not intended for prolonged outdoor exposure.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. Remove promptly after use — do not subject to outdoor or prolonged UV exposure, as removability may be compromised. When used in high-temperature applications such as paint or coating ovens, verify that substrate and process temperatures do not exceed 300 degrees F. No special tools are required for application or removal.
