Intertape 73860 Masking Tape 2in X 60yd 6 Mil Tan

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 73860 is a general-purpose paper masking tape designed for a wide range of surface protection, bundling, and sealing tasks in trade and light industrial environments. It measures 2 inches wide by 60 yards long and carries a 6 mil thickness, giving it enough body to handle demanding applications without tearing prematurely. The rubber adhesive delivers reliable grab on most surfaces and releases cleanly. With a tensile strength of 23 lb/in, this tape holds up under tension during wrapping, bundling, and masking operations. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians working in paint, HVAC, and general maintenance will find this a dependable workhorse roll.

The 73860 is suited for residential and commercial job sites as well as shop environments. Rated applications include paint masking, box closing, bundling, protecting, sealing, splicing, and tabbing. It is also noted for use on golf club shaft preparation. The tape is conformable, meaning it follows irregular contours without lifting at edges, which makes it useful for curved or non-flat surfaces. It carries UV-resistant properties and can withstand bake temperatures up to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for up to 60 minutes, supporting paint booth and oven-cure workflows.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masking tape compatible with paint masking, bundling, box closing, sealing, splicing, tabbing, and surface protection tasks across trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and cleanest removal. When used in paint masking, remove tape promptly after the finish has set to avoid adhesive transfer or surface damage. For bake or oven-cure applications, confirm the substrate and surrounding materials can also withstand the rated temperature before proceeding. Store unused rolls away from direct heat and moisture to maintain adhesive integrity.
