Masking Tape 3M 3011850 18mm x 50m White

The Masking Tape 3M 3011850 is a chamois-coloured, latex-saturated crepe paper tape with a rubber resin adhesive, sized 18 mm x 50 m. It is designed to provide clean paint lines and surface protection during painting and related tasks. The tape offers balanced temperature resistance up to 100°C for one hour, good solvent and moisture resistance, and a crepe paper backing that provides conformability, easy tearability and instant adhesion. The product is intended for indoor use and should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight.

Advantages

This 3M masking tape combines a rubber adhesive for instant tack with a latex-saturated crepe paper backing that conforms to irregular surfaces and tears easily by hand. It withstands short-term heat exposure up to 100°C, resists common solvents and moisture, and includes a back-size treatment to control unwind and reduce tape waste. The tape removes cleanly from most surfaces when used as directed and provides good holding power to resist lifting or curling.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or oils before applying the tape. Unwind the tape and press firmly along the edge to create a tight seal for paint lines. For hand application, use the crepe backing to tear the tape to the required length. After painting, remove the tape at a low angle while the paint is still tacky or after it has fully cured, depending on the paint manufacturer's guidance, to minimize edge lift or residue.

Recommendations

Intended for indoor use only; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Do not exceed the short-term temperature limit (100°C for 1 hour). Test on a small, inconspicuous area if surface sensitivity is a concern and follow paint system curing instructions when using oven, Infrared or UV processes.
