3M Extreme Masking Tapes
Acid baths, sandblasting, extreme heat, extended weathering and wear – we understand the challenges of extreme environments and we have solutions.
Tapes that can take it
Not only does your masking solution have to withstand the same harsh environment as the parts you put it on, when it’s done protecting the underlying surface it should come off cleanly. It was a 3M lab assistant visiting an automaker that led to the invention of masking tape in 1925, and we have continued to work with our industrial customers to create products to meet their ever-changing needs. Our goal is to provide products you can count on to work well time after time masking in harsh conditions and helping to improve your productivity.

El masking de crepé, el masking de líneas finas y las películas de masking se utilizan para enmascaramiento de alta temperatura, reparación de pintura de final de línea y trabajos de pintura de dos tonos. Las cintas adhesivas se utilizan para cubrir agujeros y para sujetar ventanas de vidrio o láminas de plástico de protección temporal.

Crepe masking and fine line tapes are used in the exterior paint process of the aircraft for paper hanging and creating sharp paint lines. Duct tapes and masking films are used in ground applications to protect the landing gear during the paint process.

El masking de crepé se utiliza para enmascarar áreas grandes y en procesos de pintura de dos tonos, mientras que las cintas de línea fina son muy adaptables para enmascarar formas irregulares y curvas para crear diseños especiales y trabajos de pintura personalizados. Las cintas adhesivas se utilizan para cubrir agujeros y sujetar temporalmente.

Después del ensamblaje, un bote se enmascara antes de ingresar a la cabina de pintura, para un proceso de pintura o recubrimiento de gel. Las buenas soluciones de masking reducen el repintado de la pintura y minimizan el astillado cuando se retira la cinta. El masking y las cintas adhesivas también se utilizan para proteger las superficies interiores que son propensas a rayones y abolladuras.

Papel e impresiónLas cintas Flatback se utilizan en las fábricas de papel para tabular núcleos, sellar la cola durante el proceso de enrollado y sujetar capas protectoras alrededor de los rollos terminados. También se utilizan para unir dos bandas de papel juntas tanto en la fábrica como en la imprenta.

Product families for Extreme Masking Tape applications
Because each application is extreme for different reasons, the specific environment the tape needs to withstand determines which tape families are best suited to each application. For this purpose, extreme masking tapes are grouped into families by the backing or carrier that the adhesive is applied to.
Anodizing tapes need to resist the harsh chemistry of the acid bath, so these tapes come from the Polyester, Vinyl and Foil tape families.
Electroplating (and Electroless Plating) tapes need to withstand similarly harsh chemical solutions, and these tapes come from the Vinyl and Foil tape families.
Powder Coating tapes need to withstand the extreme heat of the bake cycle, so these tapes come from the Polyester and Polyimide tape families.
Powder coating uses electrical attraction to apply free-flowing dry powder to a part which then passes through an oven so the powder melts to form an even paint surface. Not only must the masking tape prevent powder from reaching masked areas, but both the carrier and the adhesive must withstand the high oven heat (usually 400°F/204°C or higher for 5-30 minutes) without transferring to the part so the tape removes cleanly afterward.
