Intertape 73859 Masking Tape 38mm 60yd 6mil Tan

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 73859 is a general-purpose paper masking tape designed for box closing, bundling, paint masking, protecting, sealing, splicing, and tabbing applications. Built on a conformable tan paper backing with a rubber adhesive system, it delivers 23 lb/in tensile strength for reliable hold across a wide range of surfaces. At 6 mil thickness, the tape resists tearing during application and removal. It is rated to withstand bake temperatures up to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for up to 60 minutes, making it suitable for low-temperature oven or cure-cycle workflows. UV resistance extends its usefulness in outdoor staging and temporary protection tasks.

This tape is a fit for light industrial, construction, painting, and maintenance trades. It is commonly used by painters, general contractors, and facilities maintenance crews for surface masking before spray or brush application. The 38 mm width suits standard masking runs on trim, pipe, conduit, and bundled materials. Its conformable backing allows it to follow curved or irregular surfaces, including tubing and golf club shafts as noted by the manufacturer. Each roll measures 60 yards (180 feet) in length.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion. Remove tape promptly after use to minimize adhesive transfer, particularly on freshly painted or sensitive surfaces. When used in bake or cure-cycle environments, do not exceed the rated 180 degrees F temperature limit or 60-minute duration. No special tools are required for application or removal.
