- Backing is curl resistant and conformable making it easy to handle and apply.
- The rubber adhesive bonds well to most surfaces and has excellent initial stick. Once in place, it stays where you put it. One tape may be used for many applications with little waste.
- Unwinds from the roll easily making it convenient to use and preventing user fatigue. 25 yd. rolls can also be used with the 3M™ Hand Masker™ Dispenser M3000 and other dispensers to increase efficiency in hanging paper and plastic sheeting, or dispensing the tape itself.
- The slate blue color blends with grays, but is distinct to insure the correct tape is used for outdoor and removable applications.
- 48 mm rolls have a special edge treatment so the sides are not tacky and pick up less dirt. They are individually wrapped to preserve the tape integrity resulting in less waste.
