Scotch High Performance Fine Line Tape 4740 is a pressure-sensitive, solventless adhesive tape engineered to resist lifting and withstand high temperatures for two-tone paint applications in automotive OEM, specialty vehicle, and the aerospace markets. With a tape thickness of 5.2 mil (0.13 mm), it meets the demands of challenging operations and is designed to remove cleanly with no edge residue, delivering professional and consistent results. Its exceptional conformability allows instant and secure adhesion onto steel, intricate surfaces, depressed areas, and sharp curves. The versatility of the tape makes it ideal for precision work involving simple or complex patterns in automotive fascia, custom two-tone, and other critical masking applications.

Scotch High Performance Fine Line Tape 4740 can endure multiple paint-bake cycles, handling temperatures as high as 320 °F (160 °C) for up to 60 minutes and 356 °F (180 °C) for up to 10 minutes. The water-based adhesive reduces solvent usage during product formulation and manufacturing by 80% compared to similar 3M solvent-based fine line tapes. These benefits of excellent conformability, high-temperature resistance, clean removal, and a solventless adhesive allow this tape to deliver professional paint lines and reduce inefficiencies or rework caused by adhesive residue and ghosting. Elevate your operations with this reliable solution that helps you achieve crisp paint lines and a quality application.
