3M General Purpose Masking Tape 234, Tan, 48 mm x 55 m, 5.9 mil, 24 Roll/Case

• Crepe paper backing conforms and maintains integrity when formed around a corner
• Manufactured without solvents for reduced environmental impact
• Performs well in paint bake operations up to 250°F for 30 minutes
• Rubber adhesive provides instant adhesion and resists lifting or curling, yet still removes easily
• Strong backing is easy to tear, yet resists slivering and provides one piece removal

3M General Purpose Masking Tape 234 features a strong backing and a less aggressive adhesive. It is one of 3M's most popular general purpose crepe backed masking tapes and performs exceptionally well in most indoor applications, having proven itself especially useful in window and door manufacturing.

Reliable Performance
Our 3M™ General Purpose Masking Tape 234 is a multipurpose, crepe-backed masking tape that performs well – without slivering – in both general painting and paint bake operations at temperatures up to 250°F/ 121°C for up to 30 minutes. It also features enough tensile strength to be of use in many holding, protecting and bundling applications. A controlled unwind ensures the tape dispenses evenly from the roll, making it less like to tear prematurely.

Recommended Applications

• Window and door manufacturing
• Medium temperature paint bake operations
• Holding, protecting or bundling applications
• General labeling
• General indoor use

Excellent for Windows and Doors
​The crepe paper backing tears easily, offers moderate conformability around corners and over irregular surfaces while the rubber adhesive sticks instantly and offers adequate holding power that resists lifting and curling, while removing cleanly and easily from the surface. This tape bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with reliable holding power. Under normal operating conditions, 3M™ General Purpose Masking Tape 234 features one-piece removal and is sliver resistant.

What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Masking tapes from 3M adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.

Strong Backing Performance

The tape’s crepe paper backing is designed to tear easily by hand yet resists slivering, allowing for clean one-piece removal. This makes it perfect for window and door manufacturing where precision is key.

Its rubber adhesive offers instant stickiness that resists lifting or curling but still removes cleanly. This balance helps maintain neat edges during painting or bundling tasks.

Heat Resistant Grade Tape

This masking tape performs well in paint bake operations at temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for medium temperature paint curing processes without losing adhesion.

Its ability to withstand heat while maintaining integrity ensures it can be used in demanding indoor applications, including holding and protecting surfaces during manufacturing.

Versatile Size And Format

Each roll measures 48 mm wide by 55 m long, providing a practical size for general purpose use. The tape’s format supports easy dispensing and controlled unwind, reducing waste and frustration.

The 5.9 mil thickness adds strength without bulk, making it easy to handle and apply. This size and format combination suits a wide range of tasks from labeling to bundling.

Bulk Pack Convenience

Supplied in a case of 24 rolls, this pack size is ideal for workshops or production lines needing consistent tape availability. It helps reduce downtime by keeping enough tape on hand.

Having multiple rolls ready supports continuous work in painting, masking, or general indoor use. The bulk pack also offers cost efficiency for frequent users.
