3M 7100086193 Masking Tape 18mm 55m Purple

Product Description

The 3M 7100086193 is a crepe paper masking tape designed for general masking, bundling, and surface protection tasks across trade and industrial applications. The tape measures 18 mm wide and 55 m long per roll, with a rubber adhesive backing that provides reliable tack and clean removal from most surfaces. Tensile strength is rated at 33 lb/in, giving the tape enough body to hold through painting and light surface prep without tearing during unwinding or removal. It is color-coded purple for easy identification on job sites where multiple tape types or widths are in use.

This tape is suited for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades where temporary masking of surfaces, labeling of components, or protection during finishing work is needed. The 149 degrees C (300 degrees F) maximum operating temperature rating makes it appropriate for use near moderate-heat environments, such as masking around sheet metal work, ductwork finishing, or pipe painting. Individual rolls are packaged one per unit, making it straightforward to stock and dispense at a workbench or in a service vehicle.

Key Features

• Crepe paper construction allows conformability around contoured and irregular surfaces
• Rubber adhesive provides strong initial tack with clean removal
• 33 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Rated to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) maximum operating temperature
• Purple color coding aids identification when multiple tape types are in use
• 55 m roll length reduces change-out frequency on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape suitable for use on painted surfaces, metal, glass, and most primed substrates where temporary adhesion and clean removal are required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and clean removal. Remove the tape promptly after the task is complete to reduce the risk of adhesive transfer, particularly on freshly painted or coated surfaces. Do not exceed the rated maximum operating temperature during use. No special tools are required for application or removal.
