Scotch 7000048423 Fine Line Masking Tape 5 Mil 60 Yd

Product Description

The SCOTCH 7000048423 is a fine line masking tape engineered for precision paint masking and surface protection applications. Made from green polypropylene with a rubber adhesive backing, this tape measures 5 mil thick and delivers 13 lb/in tensile strength for clean, controlled tear and reliable hold during application. The tape runs 60 yards per roll, providing substantial length for extended masking runs without mid-job roll changes. It performs across a wide temperature range, rated from 32 degrees F up to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for shop environments and spray booths where heat exposure is a factor. HVAC, automotive, and general trade professionals rely on this tape for straight-edge masking where a clean paint line is critical.

This tape is used in fine line masking tasks where a sharp, defined edge is required. Typical applications include automotive refinishing, equipment painting, powder coating prep, and any surface masking where bleed-through or rough edge lines are not acceptable. The polypropylene backing resists paint penetration, and the rubber adhesive releases cleanly without leaving residue on most primed or finished surfaces. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a controlled masking line is needed.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces for best adhesion and edge definition. Remove tape promptly after painting or within the recommended dwell time to prevent adhesive transfer or surface damage. No special tools are required, though a tape applicator gun improves consistency on long straight runs. Follow all applicable facility and safety guidelines when working in spray booth environments.
