Introducing the 3M™ 501E, it's a high-performance masking tape that is designed for use in high temperatures that can adhere to most surfaces with confidence, including metal rubber, glass and plastic. The natural colour crepe paper coating consists of a rubber resin adhesive that instantly adheres to surfaces. The high-temperature resistance up to 160ºC (1 hour) allows this tape to be used in repeat bake cycles as well as IR drying and heat lamps. The 501E masking tape is ideal for any job that needs masking which includes stopping paint bleeding to ensure clean paint lines and sharp clean edges. With good heat resistance, this tape adheres to a variety of irregular surfaces, with an excellent conformability.

Masking tape is for protecting and blocking off areas when painting and decorating, usually made of a thin and easy to tear the paper. The adhesive should be fairly easy to remove from most surfaces without leaving any damage or residue. The backing should also be thin and easily conform to uneven surfaces and shapes. Duct tape is for sealing air ducts and often coated with polyethene and is very strong, flexible and water-resistant.

Its recommended that this tape retains its performance and properties for 12 months after dispatch from the manufacturer.
