3M 232

3M 232 conforms well for masking around corners and over irregular surfaces. The rubber adhesive sticks instantly and offers strong holding power that resists lifting, curling, and adhesive transfer when removed from surfaces like EDPM rubber moldings. This tape delivers superior performance as a paint masking tape for demanding applications.

3M 232 is capable of masking paint while removing cleanly. Its thick crepe paper backing contains a solvent-resistant saturant that helps resist paint bleed against latex- and oil-based paints.

The crepe paper backing tears easily offers moderate conformability around corners and over irregular surfaces and lifts off cleanly. The natural rubber adhesive bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with reliable holding power and conformability. Under normal operating conditions, 3M 232 features one-piece removal without slivering.
