3M 7100086195 Lithographers Tape Ruby Red 2.4 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100086195 is a ruby red UPVC film lithographers tape with a rubber-based adhesive and a 2.4 mil thickness. The film is optically transparent and photographically opaque, which makes it well suited for precision masking work in the graphic arts industry. At 0.375 inches wide and 72 yards long, each roll provides ample coverage for stripping and layout tasks. Graphic arts technicians and prepress professionals install this tape as part of standard lithographic stripping workflows.

This tape is used across a range of lithographic stripping applications in the graphic arts industry. Its photographically opaque characteristic allows it to block light during film exposure processes, while its optical transparency supports accurate registration and alignment. It is well suited for prepress environments where consistent adhesion, controlled thickness, and reliable optical properties are required on a per-roll basis.

Key Features

• 2.4 mil UPVC film construction provides consistent thickness across the roll
• Rubber adhesive formulation delivers reliable tack on film and glass surfaces
• Optically transparent and photographically opaque for dual-function masking
• Ruby red color aids visual identification during stripping and layout work
• 0.375 inches wide by 72 yards long per roll

Compatibility

Designed for use in lithographic stripping and graphic arts prepress applications where a photographically opaque, optically transparent film tape is required.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by hand in prepress and graphic arts environments. Surfaces should be clean and free of dust or oils before tape is applied to ensure proper adhesion. Remove the tape carefully to avoid tearing the film or leaving residue on artwork or film flats. No special tools or trade licensing are required for standard application.
