3M 401

3M™ High Performance Green Masking Tape 401+ is a green crepe paper masking tape designed for critical paint masking applications in automotive, specialty vehicle, and industrial environments. The tape delivers sharp paint lines while helping resist paint edge bleed and provides secure adhesion to a wide range of surfaces, including metal, glass, plastic, rubber, and painted substrates. Its highly conformable crepe paper backing follows curves and contours with ease, while the solvent-free rubber-based adhesive system removes cleanly with minimal residue or slivering. The tape is engineered to withstand short-term temperatures up to 250°F (121°C), making it suitable for paint baking and other elevated-temperature masking processes.
