3M™ Crepe Masking Tape 202
Product Description
3M™ Crepe Masking Tape 202 is a high performance, excellent paint
masking tape for holding, protecting and bundling where a pressure
sensitive tape is needed.
Product Features
• Has been laboratory tested on painted panels and found to remove cleanly
at bake temperatures of up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes. The actual
temperature and time performance may be higher or lower for a given
application. Clean removal can vary dependent on surface type, processing
conditions (such as multiple bakes), type of paint involved as well as the
temperature of the surface at removal. We recommend testing the product
under your conditions to determine if it meets your needs.• 3M proprietary
solvent-free adhesive sticks to most surfaces including metal, rubber, glass,
plastic, and EPDM rubber moldings – while removing cleanly.• Tape may
become di cult to remove if subjected to prolonged outdoor exposure.
