Benefit Improved stick & stay with clean removal helps minimize rework & clean-up time. Bold purple color Improved visual contrast. Quicker & easier tape placement. Polymeric backing Waterproof and solvent-resistant backing, also extremely conformable & strong. Provides sharp paint lines, even with waterborne paints. One tape can be used for general & fine line applications. Clean, one-piece removal helps minimize unmasking time. Micro-replicated backing technology Straight-line snap tear & indicator lines to highlight overstretching. Controlled unwind, paint anchorage, & ample adhesion to itself. Increases masking efficiency & minimizes waste & rework. Can withstand 7-day rain & sun outdoor exposure with clean, one-piece removal. Eliminates performance concern if outdoor exposure is needed – saving time & material. Special backsize treatment Scientifically engineered construction Easy to use with reliable & consistent performance. Product Uses High performance masking tape for use in repair and refinish applications for the transportation industry and other general industries. Performance Properties NOTE: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. Adhesion to Steel 30 oz/in (ASTM D-3330) Tensile Strength 7 lbs/in (ASTM D-3759) Elongation at Break 150%+ (ASTM D-3759) Temperature Use Range 200°F (93.3°C) for 1 hour Tape Thickness 5.5 mils (0.14 mm) (ASTM D-3652) UV Resistance 7 days Page 2 of 5 3M™ Precision Poly Tape 36350 • 36351 • 36353 • 36354 • 36356 • 36357 Directions for Use  Make sure surfaces are clean and dry before applying masking tapes. For best adhesion results, surface temperatures of 60-90°F (16-27°C) for application are recommended.  Utilize the straight-line snap tear of the tape by using the following methods (instructional video on 3MCollision.com): Option 1: The Pinch Tear Pinch tape with thumbs and index fingers and sharply pull one hand away. Option 2: The Snap Tear Holding the tape taut off the roll, quickly “snap” the tape by pulling at a 45° angle. Option 3: Tearing on a Surface Use hand pressure to initiate the tear then quickly pull the tape roll down at a 45° angle.  Press the entire width of the tape down firmly to ensure good adhesion and avoid lifting.  Do not overstretch tape during application. Indicator lines will appear—showing that the tape is being stretched beyond its limits. The appearance of indicator lines will affect paint line performance. To prevent this, reduce the tension used when applying the tape. The conformability of the polymeric backing will curve easily without high tension. If sharp curves need to be achieved, use the narrowest width possible for the application.

Longer term exposure to sun and heat is not recommended as it may cause tape to become very difficult to remove.  Tape removal:  For general applications, tape should be removed back over itself at a 45° angle with surface temperatures ranging from 60-90°F.  For removal on delicate surfaces (such as old weathered paint), tape should be removed as close to a 180° angle as possible with surface temperatures ranging from 60-90°F.  For fine line work, tape should be removed at a 45° angle away from the paint edge, at a slow speed with surface temperatures ranging from 60-90°F. This helps “cut” the paint line for the cleanest edge. Note: This tape can be utilized for “folded tape” used in jamb masking— either made by hand or by using the EZ Edger™ dispenser. To use the tape on an EZ Edger™ dispenser, lift wheel B up and out of contact with tape. See image below for details. PTFE tape can also be applied under wheels F & B to aid in dispensing. Applications     General masking (including use on apron tapers & other masking paper dispensers) Fine line & custom painting work Folded tape for jamb masking (including use with the EZ Edger, see specific settings above) Surface protection during wet sanding, buffing & polishing operations Page 4 of 5 3M™ Precision Poly Tape 36350 • 36351 • 36353 • 36354 • 36356 • 36357 Storage and Handling Store product in the original carton under normal conditions of 70°F and 50% relative humidity.
