3M White General Purpose Masking Tape 101E 18mm x 50 m

This general purpose masking tape 101E is a white paper-backed tape designed for routine masking and protection tasks in industrial settings. It combines a rubber-based adhesive with a paper backing to provide temporary surface protection and clean removal within typical workshop temperature ranges, suitable for use in automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical environments.

• Rubber adhesive provides consistent tack for temporary bonding
• Operates up to 60°C for temperature-stable performance
• Withstands storage and use down to 0°C for cold conditions
• High tensile strength enhances tear resistance during handling
• Thin profile minimises bulk on components and assemblies
• Easy-to-handle width benefits precision masking tasks

• Suitable for masking panels during paint or coating operations
• Ideal for protecting cable looms and harnesses in assembly
• Used for temporary holding of components during soldering prep
• Can be used for surface identification and labelling in workshops
• Used with fixtures to mask off areas in maintenance work

The rubber-based adhesive offers good initial tack and adheres well to typical porous and semi-smooth surfaces used in electronics and mechanical shops.

The tape exhibits notable tensile resistance, making it less prone to accidental tearing when applied or removed in manual operations.

With a 0.12mm thickness, it conforms easily to edges and reduces buildup on stacked layers during masking processes.

The product is supplied in a 50mm length format and an 18mm width suitable for detailed tasks and machine feeding.
