3M 7100028052 Masking Tape White 72mm 55m R3187

Product Description

The 3M 7100028052 is a white paper masking tape from the 3M R3187 Series, engineered for professional masking, bundling, and general-purpose holding applications. The tape measures 72 mm wide and 55 m long with a 7.5 mil total thickness, giving it the body needed to conform to surfaces and resist bleed-through. A rubber-based adhesive provides reliable tack and clean removal across a range of surfaces. With a tensile strength of 34 lb per inch, this tape holds under moderate stress without tearing during application or removal. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade technicians use it for masking during finishing work, labeling, and temporary fixture holds.

This masking tape is suited for both light industrial and trade service environments. Its 72 mm width makes it practical for masking larger surface areas in a single pass, reducing application time on equipment panels, ductwork exteriors, and piping during painting or surface prep. The white color aids visibility when marking or labeling components on a job site. The roll format is standard for handheld tape dispensers used in the field. It is sold as a single roll per package with a minimum order quantity of 12 rolls.
