3M 7000049597 | 72 yd x 1.000" Width x 0.9 mil Thickness Polyester Tape

Description

The 3M 7000049597 Polyester Tape (0.9 mil) is a thin, conformable polyester masking tape made for high temperature industrial processes. As the 3M 8901 product, it uses a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive to deliver clean removal after powder coating and anodizing cycles. The translucent blue polyester film offers excellent thermal and chemical resistance while remaining tear resistant and flexible for accurate placement. Rated for continuous performance from -60°F to 400°F (-50°C to 204°C), this tape is suitable for masking, splicing silicone liners and securing parts during composite bonding. Typical buyers select this tape for powder coating preparation, high temperature masking and chemical process operations requiring predictable, one piece removal.

Product Features and Benefits

High temperature performance

Silicone adhesive and polyester film stability maintain bond and clean removal across -60°F to 400°F for powder coating and thermal processing.

Chemical and thermal resistance

Polyester backing resists common bath chemistries and abrasive environments, supporting use in anodizing and chemical milling.

Thin, conformable 0.9 mil film

This low profile polyester masking tape allows precise edges and sharp paint lines while conforming to small radii without lifting or wrinkling.

Clean removal and splice reliability

Silicone adhesive removes in one piece from most surfaces and provides durable splicing on silicone liners, films and papers.

Translucent blue backing for easy alignment

Colored backing improves visibility during application and speeds placement in production and finishing workflows.
