3M General Purpose Masking Tape 101E, 50mm Length, White - 1011850


This general purpose masking tape 101E is a white paper-backed tape designed for routine masking and protection tasks in industrial settings. It combines a rubber-based adhesive with a paper backing to provide temporary surface protection and clean removal within typical workshop temperature ranges, suitable for use in automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical environments.

Features & Benefits


• Rubber adhesive provides consistent tack for temporary bonding
• Operates up to 60°C for temperature-stable performance
• Withstands storage and use down to 0°C for cold conditions
• High tensile strength enhances tear resistance during handling
• Thin profile minimises bulk on components and assemblies
• Easy-to-handle width benefits precision masking tasks

**Applications**


• Suitable for masking panels during paint or coating operations
• Ideal for protecting cable looms and harnesses in assembly
• Used for temporary holding of components during soldering prep
• Can be used for surface identification and labelling in workshops
• Used with fixtures to mask off areas in maintenance work

How does the adhesive perform on varied substrates?


The rubber-based adhesive offers good initial tack and adheres well to typical porous and semi-smooth surfaces used in electronics and mechanical shops.

What physical robustness can I expect during handling?


The tape exhibits notable tensile resistance, making it less prone to accidental tearing when applied or removed in manual operations.

How thin is the tape and why does that matter?


With a 0.12mm thickness, it conforms easily to edges and reduces buildup on stacked layers during masking processes.

What roll size options are available for bench use?


The product is supplied in a 50mm length format and an 18mm width suitable for detailed tasks and machine feeding.
