3M™ 213 High-Temp Masking Tape
3M™ 213 High-Temp Masking Tape is a tan, crepe paper masking tape with synthetic rubber adhesive engineered for use in high-temperature paint bake and protective masking applications, offering robust adhesion, excellent clean removability, and resistance to solvents and moisture — especially useful in automotive, refinishing, and industrial paint processes.
Key Features
High-temperature resistance: Withstands heat up to ≈350 °F (177 °C) for ~30 minutes, making it ideal for paint bake and high-heat operations.
Highly cured synthetic rubber adhesive: Excellent holding power at elevated temperatures and resists adhesive transfer (reduces residue).
Crepe paper backing: Treated to be sliver-resistant, easy to tear by hand, and conformable to contours.
Moisture and solvent resistance: Helps the tape adhere during painting, solvent exposure, and moisture conditions.
Controlled unwind: Designed for smoother handling and reduced tape waste.
Tan color: Standard color for visibility and paint masking
Applications
3M 213 High-Temp Masking Tape is ideal for situations requiring strong adhesion plus clean removal after heat exposure:
- Masking and protection during paint bake cycles (e.g., automotive refinishing) where temperatures reach ~177 °C.
- Masking on challenging and sensitive surfaces such as anodized aluminum, painted panels, and treated metals with minimal adhesive residue.
- Temporarily holding and protecting parts during assemblies that undergo high heat.
- General-purpose masking and surface protection where high heat and conformability are required.
