This document describes the features and characteristics of the 213 High Temperature Masking Tape, including its material, adhesive type, physical properties, performance characteristics, and temperature range.
The 3M 213 High Temperature Masking Tape is a naturally coloured, smooth creped paper tape treated with a high‑quality saturant to prevent solvent penetration. It features a firm synthetic rubber‑resin adhesive designed for applications requiring very high temperatures, up to 175 °C.
The sheet provides physical properties, performance characteristics, application techniques, and handling recommendations. It also lists advantages such as high‑temperature holding, adhesive transfer resistance, and easy tear, along with safety and storage guidelines.
