Product Description

3M™ Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance polypropylene plastic tape designed for creating long straight lines and sweeping curves with crisp, sharp paint lines. Its low profile and high adhesion make it ideal for fine line paint masking applications, including specialty vehicle, automotive, rail, marine, and aerospace paint jobs. The tape’s specially processed film backing stretches easily for smooth curves, yet can be easily torn by hand with a quick tearing action. It also offers excellent moisture and solvent resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments.
