3M™ Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance polypropylene plastic tape that has both a low profile and high adhesion for use in painting long straight lines and sweeping curves where a crisp, sharp paint line is desired. It is often used as a layout tape for high value multi-color and custom painted graphics. Features a natural rubber pressure adhesive capable of delivering the high instant adhesion necessary for critical, large-scale paint applications. The polypropylene backing is stiffer than vinyl fine line tapes, while conforming easily around corners.
Product Features

Proven excellent for painting long straight lines and smooth curves
Ideal for use in specialty vehicle, marine and aerospace paint jobs
Construction
5 Mil Total Thickness
Roll Length - 60 yards
Specifications
Tensile Strength (lb/in) - 13
Elongation (%) - 720
Steel Adhesion (oz/in) - 37
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.
