• High Conformability:‌ Developed to provide superior conformability with clean removal and sharp paint lines.
• Superior Resistance:‌ Offers exceptional resistance to UV, moisture, and solvents compared to other paper tapes.
• Minimized Unwind Force:‌ Special release coating reduces wrinkling and paint blow-by for increased precision.
• Easy and Clean Removal:‌ Designed for easy application and clean removal with less slivering, preventing transfers and bleed-throughs.
• Non-Solvent Adhesive Formulation:‌ Ensures compatibility with a wide range of surfaces and paint systems.

Product Overview:‌
Scotch® Performance Green Masking Tape 233+ delivers consistently superior performance on a variety of surfaces including moldings, plastic, glass, metal, rubber, and paint. Its balanced four-part construction features a flexible backing that easily conforms to vehicle curves and contours, paired with a patented adhesive that sticks at a touch, stays put, and removes without transfer for outstanding paint lines.

Built for Automotive Aftermarket Work:‌

• Familiar Green Color:‌ The distinctive green paper backing improves visibility for accurate edge alignment and is highly conformable, resisting breaking even around complex contours.
• Specially Formulated Adhesive:‌ Bonds instantly, reducing rework on surfaces including EPDM, and resists water and chemicals, making it ideal for use with water or solvent-based paint systems.
• Primer Layer:‌ Anchors the adhesive to the backing, virtually eliminating transfer to the vehicle surface.
• Clean Removal:‌ Removes cleanly without slivering, reducing labor costs.

Special Backsize Treatment:‌

• Superior Control During Unwinding:‌ The release coating on the backing ensures the tape is less likely to wrinkle or pull away from the masking paper, even when used with a paper apron masker.
• Accurate Masking:‌ Eliminates paint blow-by for more precise results.

Packaged for Profitability:‌

• Extra Tape Length:‌ Each 55-meter roll contains about 5 more inches of tape than lower-priced brands.
• No Need for Start Tab:‌ Resists slivering, making the tape usable from the very start.
• Usable Last Wrap:‌ Coating on the inner core releases the last wrap, providing about 15 inches more tape per roll, or about 60 more feet of usable tape per case.

Decades of Scientific Development:‌

• Innovation Since 1925:‌ The consistently sharp, uniform paint lines are the result of scientific development that began when 3M invented masking tape in 1925.
• Carefully Designed Layers:‌ Every layer of the tape — the backing, the primer, the adhesive, and the backing saturant — has been meticulously designed and developed for superior performance in auto body aftermarket applications.
