3M 7100245644 Masking Tape 72mm 60.14yd 5.4mil Tan

Product Description

The 3M 7100245644 is a general-purpose masking tape built on a tan crepe paper backing with a rubber-based adhesive. It measures 2.83 inches (72 mm) wide and runs 60.14 yards (55 meters) per roll at a thickness of 5.4 mil. The rubber adhesive delivers a tensile strength of 23 pounds per inch, providing reliable hold during masking, bundling, and light-duty surface protection tasks. This tape is rated for use up to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), making it suitable for standard paint baking and low-heat oven applications. It is part of the 3M 2214 series and is handled by HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance trades as well as painting contractors.

This masking tape is used across residential and commercial maintenance, light industrial, and trade service applications. Common uses include surface masking before painting or coating, temporary bundling of pipes or conduit, labeling, and general shop use. The crepe paper construction conforms to irregular surfaces and tears cleanly by hand, which speeds up work on the job site. It is appropriate for both indoor and controlled outdoor applications where short-term adhesion and clean removal are required.

Key Features

• Tan crepe paper backing conforms to curved and irregular surfaces
• Rubber adhesive with 23 lb per inch tensile strength for reliable hold
• 5.4 mil thickness provides consistent performance without excessive bulk
• Rated to 200 degrees F for use in low-heat paint baking environments
• Tears cleanly by hand — no dispenser or blade required
• Full 60.14-yard roll length minimizes mid-job roll changes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape suitable for standard painting, bundling, and surface protection tasks across trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and clean removal. Remove the tape promptly after the masking operation is complete to avoid adhesive transfer, especially on finished surfaces exposed to heat. No special tools are required — the crepe paper backing tears by hand. Follow applicable job site safety and surface preparation guidelines when using alongside coatings or solvents.
