3M™ Polyester tape 8902 excels in high temperature masking operations such as powder coat painting. Coated with a silicone adhesive, this tape bonds to a variety of difficult surfaces. It is chemical-resistant and performs under a wide range of temperatures and environments. This tape is a thicker version of 3M™ polyester tape 8901.

• Works in demanding conditions and high temperatures ranging from –50 to +204 °C (–60 to +400 °F)
• Clean removal during high-temperature masking operations such as powder coating
• Polyester film offers excellent thermal and chemical resistance while maintaining flexibility
• Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces
• Translucent blue backing provides easy identification and positioning
• Commonly used as a protective tape during shipping and handling operations

3M™ Polyester tape 8902 is a thicker, more durable polyester tape ideal for masking in high temperature applications and adheres well to silicone coated surfaces. The translucent blue backing is tear-resistant. Coated with a silicone adhesive, this tape functions well in masking for powder coating to provide sharp paint lines. It removes cleanly and in one piece from most surfaces, avoiding slivering and breaking. This tape also excels in permanent splicing operations on silicone liners, papers, and films subject to high temperatures. With good chemical resistance, this tape works effectively in chemical processes and demanding work conditions, such as anodizing.

Recommended applications include masking parts for high temperature powder coat painting, splicing of silicone liners, films, and papers, holding parts or vacuum bags during composite bonding operations, and masking metal surfaces in acid or caustic chemical milling baths.
