Masking Crepe Tape 3M 301E 48 mm x 50 m, beige

3M 301E Masking Crepe Tape, 48 mm x 50 m, beige, is a paper-based masking tape designed for painting, masking and surface protection tasks. Its crepe paper backing provides flexibility for application on curves and contours, allows clean paint edges and can withstand drying processes up to 100 °C for one hour while remaining removable without leaving residue.

Advantages

The tape features a crepe paper carrier that tears easily by hand yet resists unintentional ripping during application. A rubber-resin adhesive gives immediate tack and reliable holding power to reduce rework time. It is resistant to solvents and moisture, prevents paint bleed-through and is suitable for infrared and UV drying cycles. The backing and adhesive balance ensures clean removal after oven or air drying.

Suitable for

• Painting and masking on walls, trim and automotive panels
• Applications requiring infrared or UV drying up to 100 °C (1 hour)
• Tasks needing clean paint edges and minimal adhesive transfer
• Temporary surface protection where easy hand-tearing is required

How to use

Ensure the application surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease. Cut or tear the required length by hand and apply the tape firmly along the edge to be masked, smoothing to remove air pockets. After painting, allow the recommended drying process (air, oven, infrared or UV) and remove the tape by peeling back slowly at a low angle to leave a clean paint edge.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test adhesion on a small inconspicuous area before use, especially on delicate or newly painted surfaces. Do not exceed the stated temperature-duration limit of 100 °C for one hour to ensure clean removal.
