High Temp Automotive Masking Tape

• Masking Tape Description

  High Temperature Automotive Masking Tape No.3758 is constructed from premium washi paper coated with an advanced acrylic adhesive system. The combination provides strong initial adhesion while allowing clean removal without adhesive traces after painting and curing.

  The tape is specifically designed to maintain performance under heat, UV exposure, and moisture commonly encountered in automotive painting environments. Its flat, tear-resistant edges help prevent paint bleed-through, ensuring sharp, professional-quality finishes on vehicle surfaces.

  This automotive paint masking tape adheres exceptionally well when applied tape-on-tape and works seamlessly with masking paper and protective films, supporting efficient large-area masking during vehicle refinishing.

• Features & Benefits

  • Superior Heat Resistance: Safely withstands temperatures up to 110°C, making it ideal for infrared drying and oven curing cycles.
  • Sharp Paint Lines: The thin, flat edges of the Washi carrier prevent paint accumulation and "bridging," ensuring a factory-quality finish.
  • Solvent & Water Resistance: Specifically treated to resist penetration from modern automotive paints and chemical solvents.
  • "Tape-on-Tape" Adhesion: Engineered to stick perfectly to itself, as well as to masking paper and protective plastic films, ensuring your masking setup stays secure.
  • Clean Removal: Guarantees a residue-free surface when removed, saving time on post-paint cleanup and detailing.

• Applications

  The No. 3758 masking tape is the essential automotive paint masking tape for:

  • Body Panel Painting: Protecting adjacent panels and pillars from overspray.
  • Detail Masking: Shielding delicate areas such as door handles, rubber gaskets, window trims, and headlights.
  • High-Heat Curing: Staying secure during bake cycles in professional paint booths.
  • Large Area Protection: Works seamlessly with SLAA Pre-taped Masking Film to cover large sections of the vehicle quickly and efficiently.

FAQ:

Q1: Can this tape be used with solvent-based clear coats?
A: Yes. The No. 3758 is designed to be highly resistant to both water-based and solvent-based automotive coatings without bleeding through.

Q2: Will it leave glue on the car if the oven gets too hot?
A: This tape is rated for up to 110°C. As long as your drying cycle remains within this professional limit, the tape is designed to remove cleanly without leaving adhesive traces.

Q3: How long can I leave the tape on the vehicle?
A: For the best results and clean removal, we recommend removing the tape within 3 days, especially if the vehicle is exposed to UV light.

Q4: Is Washi paper better than standard crepe masking tape?
A: For automotive work, yes. Washi paper is thinner and stronger, which leads to sharper edges and better resistance to tearing when removing the tape in long strips.

Q5: Can it be used with masking paper or protective film?
A: Yes. It performs extremely well in tape-on-tape applications and with masking paper or protective films.
