3M Introduces “Greener” Masking Tape

Green masking tape, one version of painter’s masking tape, the stuff that is supposed to not leave a residue, has been around for awhile.

3M’s “Greener” masking tape is about sustainability, not about the color of the tape.

This new product is made from 56% renewable resources.  The adhesive is natural latex rubber and the paper backing is 30% recycled content. 3M is also using a solvent-free water-based manufacturing process.

The tape is available in two versions-utility grade for basic painting and performance grade for professional painters.
