3M 201E/48 GENERAL PURPOSE MASKING TAPE BEIGE 48MMX50 M

The 3M™ 201E General Purpose Masking Tape is designed for general masking and temporary holding applications in indoor environments. It provides instant adhesion and excellent conformability, making it easy to apply to a wide range of surfaces without tearing when unwinding.

Features:
The masking tape features a crepe paper backing that offers excellent flexibility and conforms easily to corners, curves and irregular surfaces. Its crosslinked rubber adhesive provides reliable holding power while allowing clean removal, helping to minimise the risk of adhesive residue or unintended lifting. The tape also offers good moisture resistance, making it suitable for use in slightly humid environments. With heat resistance up to 80 °C for one hour, it is suitable for low-temperature paint baking cycles and other applications involving temporary exposure to heat.
