3M 7100055835 Masking Tape 6mm Blue Vinyl 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100055835 is a blue vinyl masking tape from the 471+ series, designed for fine line paint masking and color coding applications. The tape measures 6 mm wide and 36 yards long with a 5.3 mil thickness, providing a thin, precise edge for detailed masking work. A rubber adhesive backing delivers a tensile strength of 13.9 pounds per inch, keeping edges secure during application. The tape is engineered to withstand bake cycles up to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) for up to 30 minutes and removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue behind. Automotive painters, industrial finishers, and production technicians are the primary installers.

This tape is suited for both color coding and sealing tasks on production lines, paint booths, and industrial finishing operations. Its fine line capability makes it appropriate for applications where sharp paint edges and clean removal are required. The blue vinyl construction holds up under elevated temperatures common in bake or cure cycles, making it a practical choice for automotive refinishing and light industrial manufacturing environments where short-duration heat exposure is part of the workflow.

Key Features

• Suitable for color coding and sealing in addition to paint masking

Compatibility

Designed for use in fine line paint masking, color coding, and sealing applications in automotive refinishing and industrial finishing environments.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and edge definition. Remove the tape promptly after the bake cycle or painting process is complete to minimize residue risk. No special tools are required for application, but a tape applicator or squeegee can help seat edges uniformly on curved or irregular surfaces.
