Introduction to 3M Paper Masking Tape 2214

The 3M Paper Masking Tape 2214 is a versatile, cost-effective crepe paper tape, specifically formulated for light-duty indoor applications. Backed with a low‑tack rubber adhesive, it offers temporary sticking capability without damaging delicate surfaces. It’s widely used for bundling, sealing, labeling, general holding, and paint masking in environments like automotive shops, electronics assembly, woodworking, and manufacturing.

Key Features & Benefits

• • • Low-Tack Rubber Adhesive
      Ensures quick, secure adhesion to various clean surfaces—paper, metal, wood, plastic, glass—while allowing clean removal without residue or damage
    • Crepe Paper Backing
      Easily conforms to curves and irregular shapes. Hand-tearable for tool-free application and designed to resist slivering for smooth unwinding and removal
    • Heat Resistance
      Safely withstands up to 200 °F (93 °C) for short-term exposure (up to 30 minutes), making it suitable for tasks like paint masking or light heat sealing
    • Reliable Physical Properties
      With a tensile strength around 29.8 N/cm (17 lb/in) and elongation approx. 8–10%, the tape delivers both secure holding and sufficient stretch

Common Applications

• • • General Light-Duty Indoor Use
      Perfect for tasks like temporary holding, wrapping, sealing cartons, and labeling within manufacturing, repair, and maintenance contexts
    • Non-Critical Paint Masking
      Ideal for creating clean paint lines and protecting surfaces during painting, as it resists lifting, curling, and solvent exposure under typical temperature conditions
    • Light Bundling & Sealing
      Efficient for bundling cables, holding lightweight items, sealing plastic sheeting, or general organizing tasks
    • Labeling & Attaching
      Useful for attaching labels or notices temporarily, thanks to its clean removal and moderate adhesion.
