Description
The 3M 7000048806 Scotch Performance green masking tape is designed for professional paint, body, and industrial masking applications. As a 3M 233 Masking Tape, it combines a flexible, premium paper backing with a patented adhesive to provide excellent conformability around curves and complex contours while resisting breakage, lift, and edge curl. The bright green backing enhances visibility for quick, accurate edge alignment, and the tape is rated for short bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive refinishing applications. This 3M green masking tape is made to resist UV, moisture, chemicals, and both waterborne and solvent-based paints, reducing the need for rework and ensuring clean removal without adhesive transfer. The roll length and core treatment increase usable tape per roll, reducing changeovers. Specify 3M 7000048806 for production or repair workflows that require repeatable paint lines, heat resistance, and low residue removal.
Product Features and Benefits
Premium backing for curve conformity
The flexible paper backing of 3M 233 masking tape conforms to moldings, plastics, and contoured panels, allowing for more consistent edge contact and fewer touch-ups when masking trim and body seams.
Patented adhesive for clean removal
Adhesive adheres with a light touch, resists lifting, and cleanly removes without slivering or adhesive transfer, resulting in consistent paint lines and quick rework cycles.
Heat resistance for bake cycles
The 3M green masking tape is rated to withstand temperatures of up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, allowing for longer bake cycles commonly used in automotive refinishing.
Durable in harsh environments
Resists UV, moisture, and common shop chemicals, plus both waterborne and solvent-based paints, to maintain adhesion and prevent edge failure outdoors or in-plant.
Highly visible green color
The bright green Scotch tape backing allows for quick, accurate placement and reduces masking errors on complex assemblies and multi-step paint processes.
