3M Masking Tape, 18mm Width, 50m Length - 7100196060


This masking tape provides a reliable temporary bond for marking, protection and paint-edge definition in industrial settings. Supplied on a roll, it is MADE with a crepe paper backing and a rubber-based adhesive, offering controllable removal and tactile conformability for surfaces encountered in electrical, mechanical, electronics and automation environments.

Features & Benefits


• Maximum heat tolerance 80°C for elevated-temperature processes
• Tensile strength 3.56 N/cm for secure hold under stress
• Thickness 0.135 mm supports fine-edge paint masking
• Rubber adhesive delivers strong initial tack for quick placement
• Crepe paper backing allows flexible contouring around profiles

**Applications**


• Suitable for masking components during automotive painting operations
• Ideal for protecting PCB edges during conformal coating preparation
• Used for temporary holding of wiring in electrical assemblies
• Can be used for edge definition in mechanical surface finishing
• Used with jigs and fixtures in automation line maintenance

How does the tape behave when exposed to elevated process temperatures?


It withstands temperatures up to 80°C without immediate adhesive failure, making it compatible with many paint-drying and heat-assisted curing steps.

Will the tape conform to curved or irregular surfaces effectively?


The crepe paper backing provides sufficient flexibility to follow contours and small radii while maintaining contact through the rubber adhesive.

How does its tensile strength affect practical use on assemblies?


A tensile strength of 3.56 N/cm reduces the likelihood of tear or elongation during handling, aiding consistent masking and removal in fabrication tasks.

What removal characteristics can be expected after short-term use?


The rubber-based adhesive offers prompt initial adhesion for placement and can be peeled away without aggressive residue in typical short-duration masking applications.
