3M™ Polyester Tapes

Reliable Masking in Demanding Conditions

3M™ polyester tapes are designed for high-temperature masking applications such as powder coating, composite manufacturing, and resin overflow control. With clean removal, defined paint lines, and resistance up to 205°C, they provide reliable performance where precision and durability matter. Versions with liner (8991L, 8992L) enable die-cutting to exact shapes.

Why Choose 3M™ Polyester Tapes?

Heat resistance up to 205°C
Clean paint edges with no adhesive residue
Available in linered versions for die-cut shapes
Excellent tensile strength and elongation
Easy application, even on complex surfaces
No lifting, curling, or residue after removal
