Product Description
ISC Racers Tape Blue Hi-Temp Masking Tape is a masking tape used for auto body automotive work (not your standard blue painters tape). It is engineered for the racing fabrication industry and is designed to be residue-free even under extreme conditions. ISC's Blue Hi-Temp Masking is ideal for use in painting, metal fabrication and powder coating in the racing and marine industries. The tape can resist a range of temperatures, up to 250°F for 30 minutes (suitable for medium temperature paint bake operations). Even when subject to high temperatures, a cured rubber adhesive system allows for clean removal from metal, rubber, plastics, and other surfaces and still results in sharp paint lines. The tape is conformable to irregular surfaces and it resists solvents and moisture to minimize paint bleed-through and rework. It is also compatible with solvent and latex-based paints and its strong crepe paper backing (which is treated with heat and solvent resistant saturant) resists tears and silvers. Country of Origin: United States.

QUESTION: Your ISC RTMT High temp tape, has been discontinue, what is the part number (1" & 2") equivalent to?
ANSWER: ISC is no longer making their RTMT tape. The closest in specification that we would have would be the 3M 401+ tape seen online at

User Reviews
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
