213 High Temperature Masking Tape Product Data Sheet. This tape has a very high adhesion and is suitable for applications requiring very high temperatures.
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. Its specially formulated adhesive is designed for applications requiring very high temperatures, making it suitable for bake cycles up to 175 °C.
The sheet lists physical properties such as a 165 µm thickness, natural colour, and a 12‑month shelf life when stored properly. Performance data include adhesion to stainless steel (3.8 N/10 mm), tensile strength (35 N/10 mm), and elongation at break (10 %). Application techniques recommend clean, dry surfaces and an ideal application temperature of 21 °C to 38 °C.
