3M 7100031484 Masking Tape 144mm 55m 4.4mil Tan

Product Description

The 3M 7100031484 is a general-purpose masking tape constructed from tan crepe paper with a rubber-based adhesive. It measures 144 mm (approximately 5.67 inches) wide and 55 m (approximately 180 feet) long, with a thickness of 4.4 mil. The rubber adhesive provides reliable bonding to a range of surfaces while allowing clean removal within recommended temperature ranges. Tensile strength is rated at 19 lb/in, making it suitable for moderate-duty hold during surface preparation, labeling, and identification tasks. This tape is used by painters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals who need a dependable masking solution on the job.

This masking tape is suited for residential and commercial applications where temporary surface protection, part identification, or labeling is required. Common install scenarios include masking surfaces before painting or coating, marking components during service calls, and identifying lines or connections during plumbing or HVAC work. It performs within a temperature range of 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor trade environments. The wide 144 mm format is practical for covering larger surface areas in fewer passes.

Key Features

• Crepe paper backing provides conformability around irregular surfaces and curved edges
• Rubber adhesive bonds securely and removes without leaving residue when used within rated conditions
• 4.4 mil thickness offers durability for moderate-duty masking and labeling tasks
• 19 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Wide 144 mm format reduces overlap passes on larger surfaces
• Rated for use up to 200 degrees F, suitable for most standard trade work environments

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose masking, labeling, and identification applications across painting, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. No specific equipment or system compatibility is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and clean removal. Remove tape promptly after use and before adhesive cures to the substrate, particularly in warm environments near the upper temperature limit. No special tools are required for application. Store unused rolls in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive performance.
