3M 7100088493 Masking Tape 100mm 55m Purple

Product Description

The 3M 7100088493 is a purple crepe paper masking tape designed for masking, bundling, and surface protection tasks in trade and industrial settings. The tape measures 100 mm wide and 55 m long, providing substantial coverage per roll. A rubber adhesive backing delivers consistent tack and clean removal from most surfaces. Tensile strength is rated at 33 lb per inch, making it suitable for applications that require the tape to hold under moderate mechanical stress. The 501+ series designation places it in 3Ms high-temperature masking lineup, rated for use up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C). HVAC technicians, painters, and general contractors commonly use this tape for high-heat masking during powder coating, baking, or duct fabrication work.

This tape suits applications where standard masking tape would fail due to heat exposure. Typical uses include powder coat masking, automotive refinishing, general industrial painting, and HVAC duct and component masking during high-temperature processes. The purple color provides easy visual identification on job sites where multiple tape types are in use simultaneously. It performs in both residential and commercial settings wherever elevated-temperature surface protection is required.

Key Features

• Crepe paper construction conforms to irregular surfaces and contours
• Rubber adhesive provides strong tack and clean removal without residue under normal conditions
• Rated for use up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) for high-temperature masking applications
• 33 lb per inch tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Purple color aids visual identification when multiple tape types are in use
• 100 mm width covers larger surface areas with fewer passes

Compatibility

Designed for use as a high-temperature masking tape on metal, painted, and primed surfaces in industrial, HVAC, and general trade applications. Suitable for use in powder coating ovens and paint booths operating within the rated temperature range.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion. Remove tape promptly after the process is complete and while the substrate is still warm to minimize adhesive transfer. Do not exceed the rated maximum operating temperature of 300 degrees F. Installers should verify surface compatibility before full application, especially on sensitive coatings or plastics.
