Scotch®
High-Temperature Masking Tape
213
Product Description Scotch®Tape 213 is a very high-temperature resistant tape for use in masking and
holding applications where temperatures reach 350°F (177°C) up to 30 minutes.
This tape is generally the most transfer-resistant adhesive of all the 3M paper tapes,
as the firm adhesive does not anchor itself as softer adhesives often do.

Features • Highly cured rubber adhesive for excellent high-temperature holding and
adhesive transfer resistance to keep edge lifting minimized to help reduce rework
and labor.
• Specially treated crepe paper backing that is sliver resistant, conformable, easy
tear, and solvent and moisture resistant to help reduce waste and labor.
• Special backsize treatment to controlled unwind for easy use that helps reduce
waste.
• Designed for indoor use only as it should not be subjected to outdoor exposure or
prolonged periods of sunlight as tape may become very difficult to remove.

Application Information • The firm adhesive often makes Scotch®Tape 213 ideal for use on aluminum
anodized surfaces.
• Scotch®Tape 213 should be considered whenever treated metals, such as
aluminum, are encountered and whenever a bake cycle exceeds one hour at
300°F (149°C) or a moderate tack tape is desired.
• Scotch®Tape 213 has been laboratory tested on painted steel panels and found to
remove cleanly at bake temperatures up to 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes. The
actual temperature and time performance may be higher or lower for a given
application. Clean removal can vary dependent on surface type, processing
conditions such as multiple bakes, type of paint involved as well as the
temperature of the surface at removal. We recommend testing the product under
your conditions to determine your performance limits.
