High-Temperature Performance Scotch® High Performance Masking Tape 213 is designed to deliver reliability when exposed to high temperatures, removing cleanly from even the most challenging of surfaces. The specially treated crepe paper backing is sliver resistant and conformable. Because this tape can withstand high temperatures (up to 30 minutes at 350°F/177°C) it is ideal for use in masking and holding paint bake applications. It bonds and removes cleanly from even the most challenging surfaces, including anodized aluminum. Recommended Applications – Painting with high-heat bake cycles – General use on challenging and sensitive surfaces What is Masking Tape Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Masking tapes from 3M adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.
