3M 2142 Yellow 2142 Yellow Masking Tape 19mm x 50m Masking Tape 19mm x 50 m

This masking tape is a crepe paper-backed adhesive tape designed for temporary surface protection and precision paintwork in industrial settings. It provides a paper-based carrier with an acrylic-based adhesive, offering ease of tear and controlled adhesion suitable for surface masking in electrical, mechanical, electronics and automation environments.

• Acrylic adhesive offers steady bond with predictable removal behaviour
• Crepe paper backing allows easy hand-tearing without tools
• Yellow colour improves visibility on work surfaces
• 19mm width supports fine-line masking and narrow-edge control
• 50mm length roll reduces changeover frequency on job sites

• Suitable for masking component edges during selective painting
• Ideal for wire-harness routing protection during assembly
• Used for temporary fixture holding in mechanical sub-assemblies
• Can be used for labelling or colour-coding on production lines
• Used with PCB handling to shield vulnerable areas from overspray

The acrylic adhesive is formulated for clean removal after short-term application, minimising residue on common metal and painted substrates.

The crepe paper backing provides flexibility and conformability, allowing it to follow contours and be torn to length by hand for tight areas.

Its yellow backing increases contrast against metal and dark surfaces, aiding Visual identification during production checks.

With a 19mm width and thin paper carrier, it supports narrow masking lines for controlled paint definition.
