3M Masking and Specialty Products
Selecting the Right Product for the Job
To help you make sure you find
the optimum 3M tape or other
adhesive‑backed product for your
particular application, you’ll want
to consider several factors:
3M Backing Materials
In many applications, 3M backings add a second surface that affects how the underlying surface relates to the environment.
To optimize that relationship, 3M backings offer a wide choice of performance and handling characteristics.
Crepe Conformable, easy tear
Flatback Strong, smooth, good for straight line masking
Kraft Strong, some versions are repulpable
Tissue Thin, porous to allow adhesive penetration of sheet
Polyester Strong even when thin, chemical resistant, high temperature resistance
Polypropylene Resistant to most solvents, conformable, tear resistant
Polyethylene Conformable, easy to stretch, chemical/acid/moisture resistant, economical
Polyethylene/Polypropylene Co‑polymer Conformable, chemical/acid/moisture resistant
UHMW‑PE High abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, anti-stick surface easy to clean
Polyvinyl Chloride (Vinyl) Conformable, abrasion resistant, resistant to most chemicals
Polyimide High temperature resistance, excellent dimensional stability, good chemical resistance
Polyamide (Nylon) High temperature resistance, high strength and toughness, good chemical resistance but can absorb moisture
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Low coefficient of friction, excellent high temperature and chemical resistance, anti-stick/release properties
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Water-soluble, organic solvent resistant, high temperature resistance
Polyurethane Abrasion/scratch resistant, impact/puncture resistant, UV and corrosion resistant
Polyvinyl Fluoride Excellent weather resistance, excellent long-term UV resistance, thin yet stiff feel
Cotton Strong, easy tear by hand, soft and drapable
Glass Cloth Strong, high temperature resistance, flame-resistant
Vinyl Coated Strong yet hand tearable, abrasion resistant, water-resistant, conformable
Fiber Air permeable, strong enough to hold expanding foams
Aluminum Heat and light reflective, moisture and chemical resistant, flame-resistant, outdoor weather resistant, conformable
Copper EMI/RFI shielding
Lead Electrically conductive, acid resistant, high conformability, x-ray opacity
Stainless Steel Corrosion resistant
Neoprene Abrasion resistant, die-cuttable
Paper/Polyethylene Weather and chemical resistant, hand tearable, stretch resistant
Metalized/Polyester Reflective, decorative
Glass Cloth/PTFE High temperature resistance, high strength
Glass Cloth/Aluminum Very high temperature resistance, high strength
Non‑Woven/Aluminum High heat and cold resistance
Polyethylene Over Cloth Strong yet hand tearable, abrasion resistant, water resistant and conformable.

• Backing material
• Adhesive type
• Application time and temperature
• Surface characteristics (e.g., roughness, surface energy, contours, etc.)
• End use conditions (e.g., temperature, UV exposure, abrasion, etc.)
The following selection guides integrate those factors to help you narrow your selection to fewer products for a more in-depth evaluation.

3M Masking and Specialty Products | November 2016 Edition
3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Most of the products in this guide feature a 3M pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds the backing to another surface on contact.
Each adhesive has different characteristics that affect production and end use performance.
High initial bond Moderate initial bond Bonds to wider variety
than standard acrylic Fair initial bond
Softer Firmer Softer Very firm
Widest variety of surfaces including
low surface energy materials* High surface energy* Many surfaces Fewer surfaces
Up to 350°F (177°C) Up to 450°F (232°C) Up to 300°F (149°C) Up to 600°F (316°C), excellent
low temperature performance
Fair chemical resistance Excellent chemical resistance Good chemical resistance Excellent chemical resistance
Fair UV resistance Excellent UV resistance Moderate UV resistance Excellent UV resistance
Poor aging Excellent aging Durable Excellent aging
Removable Permanent Various Removable
Good solvent resistance Excellent solvent resistance Good solvent resistance Excellent solvent resistance
* Surface energy ranges from high to low. To illustrate the concept of surface energy, think of water on the unwaxed hood of a car. The unwaxed hood has high surface energy and
water on the hood flows into puddles. In comparison, a waxed hood has low surface energy and the water beads up rather than flows out. Similar to water, adhesive on a high surface
energy surface flows and “wets out” the surface. “Wetting out” is required to form a strong bond.
As a rule of thumb, the higher the surface energy, the greater the strength of adhesion. Specially formulated adhesives are available for low surface energy surfaces.
Regardless of surface energy, the substrate must be unified, dry, and clean to maximize adhesive contact.
The following illustrations and surface rankings give you an idea of relative surface energy.

3M™ Clean-View Pads
Reliable Protection Against Paint Overspray
This clear multi-sheeted adhesive system protects paint booth
windows and light fixtures from overspray. You reduce the labor
expense, downtime, and amount of chemicals used for cleanup.
• Clear polyethylene keeps paint out and lets light through to
help brighten the work area
• Individually tabbed sheets for easy removal from the pad
• Eliminates re-application of single layer protection films
• Acrylic adhesive system for adhesion to glass surfaces
Reliable protection is easy with 3M™ Clean-View Pads. Simply remove the
clear protective liner to expose adhesive. Adhere the top adhesive edge to a
dry, clean surface and squeegee over the bond area. When the sheet becomes
contaminated, peel away to reveal a fresh, ready-to-use sheet.
3M™ Clean-View Pads help reduce the cost, downtime, and chemicals used in
conventional cleanup.
For large and small painting operations, 3M™ Clean-View Pads protect windows
and light fixtures from overspray.

add up quickly.
On interior windows you can simply peel
away graffiti with 3M™ Scotchgard™ Film.
Choices with multi-layer protection save
you time and money while maintaining
windows that are free from scratches,
graffiti and acid-etched marks. When one
layer is defaced, simply peel it away to
refresh the window quickly and easily.
• Peels in minutes to return surfaces
to service quickly
• Clean removal of each layer with no
adhesive residue
• Protection from acid, scratches,
permanent marker and hard water stains
• Minimal training to install

deface one layer of four protective layers not the glass. The defaced layer is simply and cleanly removed to
reveal a new layer of protection. 3M optimized adhesives provide long-term adhesion and clean, easy removal
between each layer and the last layer from the glass.
Simply pick and lift the corner, then peel off the
defaced sheet.

3M™ Sandblast Stencil Products and Impact Stripping Tapes
Thick, Durable Rubber
Backing for Demanding
Surface Protection
Combining 34–82 mil thick rubber backing
with aggressive pressure sensitive
adhesive, these products meet the rigors
of two tough masking applications:
3M™ Sandblast Stencil Products
• Rubber backing thickness ranging from
32–40 mils withstand the heavy blasting
used to create crisper, deeper images in
stone, wood, and other surfaces
• Uniform backing thickness helps ensure
efficient plotter cutting
• Clean, visible cut marks reduce picking
and weeding time
• Adhesive adheres to numerous surfaces
and removes cleanly
• Advanced rubber backing formulation
prevents stretching and design distortion
3M™ Impact Stripping Tapes
• Choice of rubber backing for
surface protection during media
stripping processes
For cost-effective production and consistent professional results, 3M Sandblast Stencil products are available
with single or double liners for friction, slot and tractor fed plotters as well as hand and die-cutting. Single
liners maintain design integrity with either computer or stencil press equipment. Double liners provide support
for “islands” eliminating the need for application tape.
Uniform stencil thickness and quality hole punch
allow smooth and productive design cutting.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is ideal for
field blasting to help protect surrounding granite
surface from blasting impact and rebound damage.
Aggressive adhesive stays in place yet removes
cleanly without residue.
For clean, intricate designs, cut marks are clean and
visible for easy and precise picking and weeding.
Abrasion-resistant rubber backing and acrylic
adhesive of 3M™ Impact Stripping Tapes protect
surfaces during plastic media blasting.
Easy to see yellow liner, enhances the monument
process by providing more precise picking power
for greater productivity, blasting accuracy and liner
residue cleanup. The advantage of yellow versus
a clear liner is especially important when working
with intricate details.

3M™ Glass Cloth Tapes
High Tensile Strength with
Choice of Other Properties
With a choice of high tensile strength
glass cloth and silicone, acrylic, or rubber
adhesives, this line meets demanding
applications for Aerospace, Automotive,
Commercial Vehicle, Construction,
Marine and more.
Depending on the specific tape,
you have a choice of characteristics:
• Pass FAA flame resistance regulations
• Protect surfaces against abrasion
• Temperature resistance up to more than
450°F (232°C) for one hour — even
higher for intermittent exposures
For seaming and sealing panels in aircraft cargo bays, 3M™ Glass Cloth Tape 398FR exceeds flame retardant
standards F.A.R. 25.853 (a) and F.A.R. 25.855 (d). Pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds on contact to many
surfaces. High adhesion is secure for extended periods. Rugged cloth surface resists wear from heavy bags.
With high tensile strength and rubber adhesive,
3M™ Glass Cloth Tape 365 reliably splices fabrics
and other textured surfaces.
For thermal spray and plasma spray masking,
3M™ Glass Cloth Tape 361 with silicone adhesive
performs reliably at up to 450°F (232°C). Passes
FAA flame resistance regulations.

noise and reduce vibration in many areas
for Aerospace, Automotive, Appliances,
Construction and MRO (Maintenance
and Repair).
• Reduce structure-borne noise in
metal and composite panels and
support structures
• Optimized acrylic converts
vibrational energy to negligible
heat that readily dissipates
• Reduce vibrational fatigue to decrease
wear and tear on parts and lower the
risk of part loosening and displacement
• Effective damping with as little as
10% surface coverage
• Pressure sensitive for easy
self-fixturing application
• Long aging performance
• Good performance over a wide
temperature range
• Linered construction provides
ability to die-cut product
Applied with a 3M™ PA-1 Wiper to the inside of a car door, 3M™ Damping Foil 2552 effectively damps noise
and vibration with as little as 10% surface coverage. Optimized acrylic on a dead soft aluminum constraining
layer converts vibrational energy to negligible heat that readily dissipates.
3M™ Damping Foil 435 between the ribs and stringers
of an aircraft fuselage helps reduce vibrational
fatigue and noise inside the passenger cabin.
3M™ Damping Foil 2552 on the inside of a washing
machine reduces structure-borne noise and reduces
vibrational fatigue to decrease the risk of part
loosening and displacement.

3M™ Polyester Tapes
Thin Caliper with Long-Term
High Dimensional Strength
With a choice of thin backing calipers
and adhesives, this line of tapes meets
demanding applications for Graphic
Arts, Photography, Metal Finishing and
Electronics. Applications range from
splicing silicone-treated paper to low
profile decorative trim.
• Backing calipers from as thin as
0.9 mil up to 5 mils, all with very
high dimensional strength
• Tensile strengths ranging from
20 lbs./in. (0.9 mil) to 140 lbs./in.
(5 mils) — some of the strongest
backings available
• Pressure sensitive acrylic, rubber,
silicone and S/R blend adhesives
to meet specific requirements. For
example, acrylic with transparent
backing for clarity and long-term
holding; silicone for high temperatures
and clean removal; rubber for quick
adhesion to low surface energy materials
For marking splice location, 3M™ Polyester Tape 850 is available in red, black, white and silver. Transparent is
also available to blend with the web stock. Pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive grabs on contact and holds butt
splices securely. High tensile strength backing resists web handling stresses.
For butt splices on many low surface energy
materials such as polyethylene. 3M™ Super Bond
Film Tape 396 provides the thin caliper tensile
strength of polyester, and high immediate holding
strength of rubber adhesive.
With thin caliper and tear resistance, 3M™ Polyester
Tape provides tough low-profile reinforcement for
punch holes in card stock. Acrylic adhesive resists
yellowing in long-term use.
For powder coat paint masking, 3M™ Polyester Tape series 8900 provides popular choices with clean removing
high temperature silicone adhesives and different backing thicknesses of tough non-slivering polyester.
With thin caliper, high tensile strength polyester
backing and the excellent shear strength of silicone
adhesive, 3M™ Polyester Tape 8402 works well for
butt splicing silicone-treated papers.

3M™ PTFE and UHMW-PE Tapes
Low Coefficients of Friction With
Choice of Other Characteristics
3M™ PTFE and UHMW-PE Tapes meet
many application requirements for
Printing, Aerospace, Automotive and
MRO (Maintenance and Repair).
3M™ PTFE Tapes
• Low coefficient of friction to help
improve web processing
• Resists up to 500°F (260°C) for long
performance on heat sealing machines
• Anti-stick for easy cleanup of hot plastic
• Chemical-resistant barrier
• Silicone-free adhesive available
3M™ UHMW-PE Tapes
• Abrasion resistant to protect chutes,
guide rails, and containers from wear
• Low coefficient of friction for “slip
plane” effect between surfaces to
reduce noise
• Anti-stick for ready release of many
inks and adhesives
For automotive noise reduction, 3M™ UHMW-PE Tape 5425 provides a “slip plane” effect between
incompatible surfaces to help reduce squeaks and rattles.
Corrugated boxes slide more easily down a chute
lined with abrasion-resistant 3M™ UHMW-PE Tapes.
Conformable 3M™ PTFE Tape helps the
movement of web materials in many types
of roller wrapping applications.
In shrink wrapping operation, 3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth
Tape 5451 helps protect the bar underneath where
the hot wire seals the plastic film.

and chemicals
• Wide variety of colors plus transparent
• Flexible backing with aggressive
adhesive bonds, conforms and seals
even on irregular surfaces
• Removes cleanly without leaving
adhesive behind to clean up
• Stretches to mold to contours
See our lane marking
applicators on page 49.
3M™ Vinyl Tapes clearly mark lanes, corridors and hazardous or no-go areas in factories, warehouses and
hospitals. Durable vinyl backing resists abrasion, scuffing, moisture, weathering, acids and alkaline chemicals
for long service life.
Red 3M™ Vinyl Tape immediately identifies fire
protection equipment and apparatus, including fire
extinguishers, alarm boxes and blanket boxes.
To highlight low hanging objects, protruding
equipment, or steps, 3M™ Vinyl Tape 5702 combines
yellow and black for a striped combination that
calls for attention.
Orange 3M™ Vinyl Tape identifies dangerous
machine parts that may cause injury when
enclosure doors are open or guards removed.
For color-coding pipes with 3M™ Vinyl Tapes, select
from either nine vivid colors or transparent to let
underlying color show through. Backing is colored
throughout to help maintain ready visibility.
For fine line paint masking, 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471
provides sharp paint lines and the clean removal of
a firm rubber adhesive.

3M™ Gripping Materials
Increase Friction and Reduce Slippage in Dry, Wet
and Oily Conditions
When getting a grip is a performance requirement, strengthen
your competitive advantage with 3M™ Gripping Material products.
This 3M innovation utilizes 3M patented micro-replication
technology to add thousands of micro gripping fingers on one
side of a flexible backing to enhance control and improve gripping
performance. Customers will see a noticeable increase in holding
power, while using less force. Ultimately this can lead to enhanced
performance and decreased fatigue.
Adhesives-backed versions stick on contact to many metals,
plastics and sealed woods for a fast, easy increase in traction for
applications such as fishing rods, ATV handlebars and forklift
steering wheels.
Plain-backed versions offer some stretch and are designed for
sew-on applications such as sports gloves or work gloves, where
improved grip is a performance advantage.
Molded grips can be custom designed and manufactured for
different high volume applications.
Performance Features:
• Increases friction to reduce slippage even in wet or oily conditions
• Immediate release when the hand lets go
• Abrasion and puncture resistant
• Water and oil resistance for secure attachment
• Performs across a broad temperature range from -40 to 160°F
(-40 to 71°C) indoors and out
