GENERAL INFORMATION

3M masking tape 225 is a 6.7mil weather resistant, silver colored, smooth crepe, paper masking for outdoor exposure up to one month. The aggressive adhesive can be used for holding or protecting, particularly when outdoor weathering is encountered for a short period of time. The silver colored coating on the backing reflects ultraviolet radiation to provide resistance to weathering.
