Scotch Steel Gray Masking Paper is an ideal material for paint masking in collision repair. It is strong, flexible and pliable, and it’s available in a variety of sizes – including small 3” or 6” widths to cover a range of surface shapes. The masking paper is also specially treated to resist penetration by solvents, lacquers and enamels and withstands bake cycles up to 400°F (204°C) for 1 hour.

3M Flame Resistant Hook Fastener SJ3519FR is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. With its flame resistant rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics.

3M Flame Resistant Loop Fastener SJ3518FR is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. With its flame resistant rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics.

3M Hook and Loop Fastener MP3526N/MP3527N is a best in class fastener that provides design flexibility and fast product assembly. With its high performance rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics.

3M Venting Tape 3294 is a pink non-woven, synthetic backing with a strip-coated low-tack pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive for use in various venting applications requiring high outgassing rates.

For splicing applications requiring quick stick and an aggressive, permanent hold, use the 3M Polyester Film Tape 850 Silver. Used in a variety of applications, including web processing, label protection, and marking.

3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape made for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Its UPMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) thermoplastic backing enables its low-friction and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in demanding situations. The exceptional hardness and slick surface is ideal for maintaining a gliding, ‘slip-plane’ effect and reducing noises like squeaks and rattles. Furthering its workability, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is mounted on a liner, allowing the user to die-cut shapes to exact specifications. Between its low-friction coefficient, built-in liner, and long-lasting protection, this slick-surfaced tape excels in the aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.

3M PTFE Film Tape 5491 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of materials in many types of lay-flat applications.

Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a “slip plane” effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features outstanding chemical resistance and a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.
