Description

3M Scotch 3051 Low Tack Paper Tape has a white smooth flat carrier/backing and is coated with a low tack acrylic adhesive. The tape is designed to be a controlled low tack paper tape for applications on most paper and many other fragile surfaces (this is 3M's designated replacement for their 230 drafting tape product; however please note it is a flatback paper tape instead of crepe paper like 230 and offers lower adhesion than 230). 3M 3051 can be automatically dispensed and should remove from most surfaces cleanly and easily without damaging the substrate (should not be used for applications requiring outdoor exposure though). Its smooth white backing is printable with most inks and markers. You can use tape for repositionable layout and assembly of artwork and/or work in process such as illustration boards, blueprints, drathe wings, tracings, photos, acetate and grid paper. Also for light blocking on negatives; silhouetting; holding and tabbing. Vertical markets include office supply, paper and print, drafting, graphic arts and photography. If standard masking tape is tearing your work upon removal then this would be a tape to consider.

If not otherwise specified widths shown in dropdown are in inches.
