3M™ Paint Masking Tape 231 is a premium, high-performance crepe paper masking tape designed to meet aerospace needs in most painting applications, including the use of multiple bake cycles. This smooth masking tape embodies all the features that are desirable in a paint masking tape and designed specifically for the aerospace market. As a professional grade masking tape, it has the benefit of paint flake resistance that reduces contamination and potential rework, resulting in a professional paint job. A special backsize treatment provides a smooth unwind for easy handling and reduced waste. It is easy to tear, which aids in handling, yet strong enough to resist slivering, providing "user friendly," one piece removal.
Product Features
Temperature - up to 300°F /149°C for 30 min
Natural rubber adhesive bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with reliable holding power that resists lifting and curling
Smooth mini-crepe paper backing conforms and maintains integrity when formed around a corner
Strong backing is easy to tear, yet resists slivering and provides one-piece removal
The backing is solvent and moisture resistant that helps reduce bleed-through, minimizing rework
Clean removal from many surfaces following multi-bake or high temperature bake
Ideal for large scale paint operations in the aerospace industry
Construction
7.6 Mil Total Thickness
Roll Length - 60 yards
Specifications
Tensile Strength (lb/in) - 28
Elongation (%) - 10
Steel Adhesion (oz/in) - 38
Can be qualified for ASTM D-6123 (replaces obsolete PPP-T-42C, Type I, (CIDA-A-883B)
What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Masking tapes from 3M™ adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.
