GENERAL INFORMATION

3M masking tape 2380 is a 7.5mil smooth, strong, mini-crepe paper tape suitable for most paint applications. It has a natural/synthetic rubber adhesive blend. It was designed for industrial use where a good paint line is desired and drying conditions range from air dry to an oven bake. 2380 is conformable, hugs curves and contours, goes on quickly and easily, sticks at a touch and stays put. Each feature is balanced to give outstanding masking results. 2380 masking tape is recommended for less critical color separation in paint masking operations. It is a reliable masking and removes cleanly on surfaces for functional coatings or paints, splicing, & heavy duty maintenance. 3M class II, Silver paint masking.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
