Application and use

Ensure that the surface is clean, dry and dust-free before applying the tape. The 3M 3434 adheres excellently to smooth and painted surfaces, as well as to plastic, rubber and glass. Apply the tape at room temperature for optimal adhesion and precise edges.

Use the tape for automotive paint repairs, bodywork, industrial coating or maintenance work. Thanks to its high tear resistance and flexibility, it can be easily applied to curved surfaces without the tape coming loose or tearing. The crepe structure ensures smooth adaptation to contours and sharp lines in spraywork.

The tape can be easily removed after use, even after exposure to heat or moisture. No adhesive residue is left behind, keeping the surface clean and ready for further finishing or assembly.

Applications

Suitable for professional paintwork, automotive spray shops, bodywork repairs, industrial coatings and maintenance work. The tape can be used with waterborne and solvent-based paints, and is resistant to infrared curing and spray booth heat. Also suitable for masking door styles, trim strips and complex surfaces.
