What is 3M213?
3M213 is a high-temperature masking tape developed for demanding industrial applications. It features a specially treated crepe paper backing that conforms easily to surfaces, and a high-performance rubber adhesive that bonds strongly to metals and other materials. This tape offers reliable performance in processes that involve elevated temperatures, making it an essential tool for masking, fixing, and protecting components.
Composition and Structure
- Model: 3M 213 High Temperature Masking Tape
- Base material: Specially treated crepe paper backing for flexibility and conformability
- Adhesive: High-performance rubber adhesive providing superior initial adhesion
- Thickness: 165 microns (about 0.165 mm)
- Color: Natural (beige)
- Temperature range: Withstands temperatures up to 175°C (347°F) for short durations, typically used for applications where the baking temperature does not exceed 150°C (302°F) and can last up to 1 hour
- Adhesion: Excellent bonding to metal surfaces such as stainless steel
Key Properties
- Exceptional temperature resistance up to 175°C (347°F), suitable for short-duration high-heat applications
- Strong adhesion to metal surfaces for reliable masking and protection
- Flexible crepe paper backing allows for precise masking around curves and irregular surfaces
- Clean removal without leaving residue, even after exposure to elevated temperatures
- Good holding power, preventing parts or assemblies from shifting during processes
Applications of 3M213
- Protecting substrates during spray painting and baking, ensuring a clean and undamaged final finish
- Fixing small parts and assemblies during complex product manufacturing to maintain their position during high-heat baking
- Masking parts that do not require painting, ensuring precision and neatness in spraying applications
- Widely used in automotive, aerospace, and electronic equipment manufacturing to protect and mask surfaces during painting, welding, and other high-temperature processes
Features & Benefits of 3M213
- High-performance rubber adhesive for excellent bonding to metals
- Specially treated crepe paper backing for enhanced flexibility and conformability
- Withstands high temperatures up to 175°C (347°F) for reliable performance
- Easy to tear by hand for efficient application
