3M 232 High Performance Masking Tape
3M 232 High Performance Masking Tape is a versatile masking tape intended for painting applications that require clean lines with little to no bleeding. The natural rubber adhesive bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with reliable holding power that does not leave residue behind. It suits painters, DIYers, and workshops needing temporary holding, labelling, or patching. Not for buyers who need a tape rated for high-temperature baking cycles or extended outdoor UV exposure.
Thermals noise and power draw
This product is a masking tape and has no thermal output, noise level, or power draw during normal use. The crepe backing contains a solvent resistant saturant that helps resist paint bleed against latex and oil-based paints. The flexible backing is easy to tear, resists slivering, and can be taken off in one piece in normal operating temperatures.
48 mm by 60 yard roll size
The roll measures 48 mm wide and 60 yards long, providing the total length available for masking, labelling, or patching tasks. This single dimension determines whether the quantity suits the scale of the project. No other specification overrides the coverage this roll delivers.

Questions about this item
How do I apply the 48mm wide tape to a curved surface without it slivering?
The flexible crepe backing moulds to corners and curves; tear it by hand and press firmly so the rubber adhesive bonds to the surface without the tape splitting into slivers.
Will the natural rubber adhesive leave residue when I remove the tape after painting?
The adhesive is designed for simple removal in one piece at normal operating temperatures and does not leave residue on paper, metal, wood or painted surfaces.
How long can the 232 tape stay on a surface before the solvent-resistant saturant loses its bleed resistance?
The saturant resists bleed from latex and oil-based paints during normal painting cycles; extended exposure beyond typical job durations is not characterised by the manufacturer.
