3M 7100034662 Performance Flatback Tape 2525 Orange 1/2x60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100034662 is a high-strength flatback tape designed for holding, splicing, and masking applications that demand reliable adhesion under demanding conditions. Sold in a 1/2-inch-wide by 60-yard roll, this 9.5-mil orange-backed tape delivers an adhesion-to-steel rating of 69 oz. per inch width and a tensile strength of 49 lbs. per inch width. The paper backing resists tearing and performs in moist environments. Rated for continuous use up to 300 degrees F, it suits high-temperature masking and industrial bundling tasks. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians in manufacturing, HVAC, and general industrial settings are the typical installers.

This tape is used in applications where a colored backing aids identification or visual inspection — the orange backing makes it easy to confirm tape placement and removal. It is well suited for high-temperature masking during powder coating, automotive refinishing prep, and industrial manufacturing processes. It is also used for splicing paper or film materials and for holding components during assembly. The tape is not recommended for outdoor or UV-exposed applications. Its low elongation at break of 2 percent makes it appropriate for clean, straight-line masking where dimensional stability of the tape edge matters.

Key Features

• 9.5-mil overall thickness for durable, tear-resistant backing performance
• Adhesion to steel of 69 oz. per inch width for reliable hold during masking and splicing
• Tensile strength of 49 lbs. per inch width resists backing failure under tension
• Rated for use up to 300 degrees F — suited for high-temperature masking applications
• Resistant to moist conditions, maintaining adhesion in humid or damp environments
• Orange backing provides visual identification for placement and removal confirmation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flatback tape for industrial holding, splicing, and masking applications where high adhesion strength, high backing strength, and elevated temperature resistance are required. Not recommended for outdoor applications.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of oils or loose particles before application to ensure full adhesion. Apply firm pressure across the tape width using a roller or squeegee to achieve rated adhesion values. Remove tape promptly after high-temperature masking cycles before adhesive cools completely to minimize residue. Not suitable for permanent outdoor installations or prolonged UV exposure.
