Scotch® Fine Line Tape 218 is a high-performance film backed tape with low profile and high adhesion to achieve excellent paint lines and for other masking and holding applications. The specially processed film backing stretches easily for smooth curves, yet can be easily torn by hand with a quick tearing action. Specially processed film backing will allow taping over fresh paint jobs sooner than paper tapes with less chance of imprint damage. Not considered a high temperature tape but could be used on bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes.
Applications: Fine Line paint masking, cirucit board conformal coat masking, electroplating stop off masking, circuit board splash mask protection, moisture resistant masking, can sealing, solvent resistant masking, silk screen masking, lettering, labeling
