Key points
- HIGH THERMAL RESISTANCE: Works in demanding conditions and high temperatures up to 400 °F (204 °C)
- COMES OFF CLEAN: Engineered for tidy, one-piece removal, even after rigorous powder-coat masking
- POLYESTER CONSTRUCTION: Offers excellent thermal and chemical resistance while maintaining flexibility
- SHARP COLOR SEPARATION: Its silicone adhesive and smooth edged backing work together to leave precise, consistent paint lines
- SEE-THROUGH BACKING: Smooth, translucent green backing aids identification and positioning
- TOUGH CONSTRUCTION: Polyester backing is strong enough to break through powder coating and resins during removal
Description
3M Polyester Tape 8992 is a general purpose polyester tape for masking in demanding situations. Ideal for powder coating, anodizing, and flash breaking applications, this tape uses features chemical-resistant, pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive that bonds to difficult surfaces in extreme temperatures up to 400 F (204 C). Combined with its translucent polyester film backing, it provides crisp paint lines, stratch-resistant protection, and clean removal without breaking or slivering. Between its strong backing, resilient adhesive, and temperature resistance, 3M Polyester Tape 8992 is engineered to excel in masking and surface protection across the transportation, aerospace, and metalworking industries.Mask in High Temperatures
3M™ Polyester Tape 8992 is a general purpose polyester tape ideal for masking in high temperature applications. The translucent green backing is tear resistant. Coated with a silicone adhesive, this tape functions well in masking for powder coating to provide sharp paint lines. It removes cleanly and in one-piece from most surfaces, avoiding slivering and breaking. This tape is a thicker version of our 3M™ Polyester Tape 8991.
With excellent chemical resistance, this tape works effectively in chemical processes and demanding work conditions, such as anodizing. The pressure sensitive silicone adhesive performs under a broad range of temperatures ranging from -60°F (-50°C) to 400°F (204°C).
Recommended applications- Masking parts for high temperature powder coat painting
- Holding parts or vacuum bags during composite bonding operations
- Masking metal surfaces in acid or caustic chemical milling baths
- Protective tape reduces scratches during handling and shipping
- Flash breaker in metal bonding processes where the excess epoxy (flash) flows on the tape
