Intertape FM71..3 Masking Tape 12mm Blue Vinyl 36yd

Product Description

The INTERTAPE FM71..3 is a blue vinyl masking tape engineered for paint masking applications in automotive, industrial, and general trade environments. Built on a conformable vinyl backing with a rubber adhesive, it delivers clean removal after bake-cycle exposure, making it a reliable choice for spray booth and oven-cure workflows. The tape measures 12 mm wide and 36 yards long per roll, with a 5.4 mil overall thickness. It holds a tensile strength of 14 pounds per inch, providing enough resistance to handle taping and detaping without tearing mid-application. Licensed painters, bodywork techs, and industrial finishing crews are the primary users.

This tape is designed for paint masking tasks where clean removal after heat exposure is essential. It conforms to irregular surfaces and curved body lines, reducing bleed-through on finished coats. The FM71..3 is well suited for automotive refinishing booths, production paint lines, and general masking work that involves bake temperatures. Each roll is packaged individually and sold in minimum order multiples of four rolls.

Key Features

• Vinyl backing conforms to curved and irregular surfaces for tight paint lines
• Rubber adhesive bonds securely and releases cleanly after bake cycles up to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) for 30 minutes
• 5.4 mil total thickness resists bleed-through during spray application
• 14 lb per inch tensile strength reduces mid-application tearing
• 12 mm width suits detail masking and tight trim lines
• Blue color provides high contrast for visual inspection of masked areas

Compatibility

Designed for paint masking applications in automotive refinishing, industrial coating, and general production environments where clean bake-temperature removal is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose paint. Press the tape edge firmly along the masking line to prevent adhesive lift during spray or bake. Remove the tape promptly after the bake cycle cools to the manufacturer-recommended removal window to avoid adhesive transfer. This product is intended for use by finishing and paint trade professionals familiar with spray booth safety practices and applicable workplace coatings regulations.
