3M™ Polyester Tape 8992 flyer clean removal

Mask in High Temperatures
3M™ Polyester Tape 8992L is a general purpose polyester tape ideal for masking in high temperature applications. The translucent green backing is tear resistant. Coated with a silicone adhesive, this tape functions well in masking for powder coating to provide sharp paint lines. It removes cleanly and in one-piece from most surfaces, avoiding slivering and breaking. This tape is a linered version of the 3M™ Polyester Tape 8992 (PDF, 2.99 Mb) ideal for die cutting and converting applications.

With excellent chemical resistance, this tape works effectively in chemical processes and demanding work conditions, such as anodizing. The pressure sensitive silicone adhesive performs under a broad range of temperatures ranging from -60°F (-50°C) to 400°F (204°C).

Recommended applications

• Masking parts for high temperature powder coat painting
• Die cutting and converting applications
• Holding parts or vacuum bags during composite bonding operations
• Masking metal surfaces in acid or caustic chemical milling baths
• Protective tape reduces scratches during handling and shipping
• Flash breaker in metal bonding processes where the excess epoxy (flash) flows on the tape
