3M Performance Green Masking Tape 233+

• Premium paper backing resists breaking, lifting, and edge curl for ease of use and less material waste.
• Developed to provide high conformability with clean removal and sharp paint lines.
• Superior resistance to UV, moisture, and solvents compared to other paper tapes.
• Release coating minimizes unwind force, reducing wrinkling and paint blow-by.

Why it's Superior?

Our Performance Green Masking Tape 233+ delivers consistently superior performance on moldings, plastic, glass, metal, rubber and paint. Balanced four-part construction includes flexible backing that applies easily around vehicle curves and contours.  Our patented adhesive that sticks at a touch, stays put and removes without transfer for consistently outstanding paint lines.

Auto body professionals will recognize the familiar green color of our Performance Green Masking Tape 233+. The distinctive green paper backing helps improve visibility for more accurate edge alignment. 

It's highly conformable, resists breaking even around complex contours of a vehicle, making for fast application and eliminating the need to apply additional tape. But the backing is only one part of our tape design, balanced specifically for superior performance in auto body paint repair and maintenance jobs.

As a result of the specially formulated adhesive bonds instantly, reducing rework on a variety of surfaces including EPDM. The adhesive resists water and chemicals, making it ideal for use with water or solvent based paint systems with no bleed-through, edge curl or lifting.

A primer layer anchors the adhesive to the backing, virtually eliminating transfer to the vehicle surface. The tape removes clean without slivering, which can reduce labor costs.

Our tape also resists temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for longer baking cycles. This is built into a very low-profile tape which won't leave high edges that require extra buffing or rework.

233+ is also has better UV resistance than traditional masking tapes. Adhesion to steel: 38oz./in.width. Tensile: 25lbs/in.
