We developed our 3M™ Heavy Duty Protective Tape 346 as a natural colored flat stock paper tape to preserve product value by protecting surfaces on a variety of metals, plastics and other materials from abrasion and moisture for extended periods of time.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, our thick backing and specially formulated rubber adhesive provide a strong bond and clean removal to safeguard various surfaces for up to 6 months in outdoor conditions. The heavy paper backing also filters damaging UV rays for an added element of protection. Our 3M™ Heavy Duty Protective Tape 346 provides an economical way to shield many metals, plastics and materials in transit from costly surface damage and is a useful asset for aerospace, military, marine, specialty vehicle, transportation, automotive, metal fabrication and other industrial environments.
