3M Masking Tape, 18mm Width, 50m Length - 7100135739


This masking tape is a crepe paper adhesive product intended for masking and protection tasks in industrial settings. It provides a consistent tack and conformability for surface protection during painting, assembly and light-duty holding tasks within automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical environments.

Features & Benefits


• 2.4 N/cm adhesion delivers secure temporary bonds without residue
• Rubber-based adhesive ensures reliable stick on varied substrates
• 0.12 mm backing thickness supports precise edge definition
• AFERA 5001 AFERA 5004 AFERA 5006 compliance confirms material consistency
• 84 N/25 mm tensile strength resists tearing during application
• Withstands up to 60°C for heat-exposed operations

Applications


• Suitable for masking seams during automated spray painting
• Ideal for protecting PCB edges during soldering processes
• Used for cable bundling and temporary harnessing in electrical assemblies
• Can be used for fixture holding in mechanical finishing tasks
• Used with Stencil work where crisp paint edges are required

How does the tape behave when removed after heat exposure?


Removal after exposure below 60°C typically leaves minimal residue due to the rubber adhesive formulation and crepe backing flexibility.

Will it conform to irregular or curved surfaces?


The crepe paper backing provides pliability that allows the tape to follow contours and maintain contact on uneven profiles.

What mechanical strength can be expected during handling?


The tape exhibits a tensile resistance of 84 N/25 mm, offering Durable performance against tearing when stretched or subjected to manual handling.

Is this suitable for precision masking tasks in tight gaps?


The 18 mm width and fine backing thickness make it appropriate for narrow masking lines and detailed paintwork.

Which feature supports use in production environments requiring repeatable performance?


Adherence to AFERA 5001, 5004 and 5006 standards ensures consistent adhesive and backing characteristics across batches.
