3M Scotch 233+ Masking Tape

Balanced Four-Part Construction for Superior Masking Performance

The balanced four-part construction of the Scotch Performance Green Masking Tape 233+ includes a flexible backing that applies easily around vehicle curves and contours. Its patented adhesive sticks at a touch, stays put, and removes cleanly without transfer — delivering consistently outstanding paint lines.

Built for Automotive Aftermarket Work

Auto body professionals will recognize the familiar green colour of our Scotch Performance Green Masking Tape 233+. The distinctive green paper backing enhances visibility for more accurate edge alignment and is highly conformable — it resists breaking even around complex contours of a vehicle. This ensures fast application and eliminates the need for additional layers of tape.

Engineered for Reliable Adhesion and Clean Removal

The specially formulated adhesive bonds instantly, reducing rework on a variety of surfaces including EPDM. It resists water and chemicals, making it ideal for use with both water-based and solvent-based paint systems without bleed-through, edge curl, or lifting. A primer layer anchors the adhesive to the backing, virtually eliminating transfer to the vehicle surface. The tape removes cleanly without slivering, helping to reduce labour time and costs.

High-Temperature Resistance and Low-Profile Design

Our tape withstands temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for longer baking cycles. Its low-profile design ensures it won’t leave high edges, minimizing the need for extra buffing or rework and ensuring a smooth, professional finish.
