3M Introduces New Automotive Refinishing Tape

London.The 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division recently introduced a new automotive refinish masking tape, ScotchT 233+, that is the next generation of the industry standard #233 automotive tape. This high performance masking tape is designed to exceed the needs of today's collision repair shops.

After years of product development, research and a three-year test sell, Scotch 233+ Automotive Refinish Masking Tape was launched to the collision repair industry.

Product features (such as the bright green colour of the masking tape) are a result of feedback 3M received from customers. "Based on field tests using different coloured backings, our customers suggested we change the colour of our tape", says Rick Berg, market manager, 3M Automotive Aftermarket. "The bright green colour selected provides more contrast when masking straight edges and makes it easier to identify the tape when de-masking."

Some of the other benefits of Scotch 233+ are:

  • Outstanding conformability and holding power
  • Improved adhesive transfer resistance for clean removal
  • Excellent performance under a variety of climatic conditions
  • Outstanding paint lines and a controlled, consistent unwind

For more information on Scotch 233+, please call 1-888-3M HELPS or write to the 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division, P.O. Box 5757, London, ON, N6A 4T1.
