Intertape 87218 Masking Tape 38mm 60yd 5mil Tan

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 87218 is a general-purpose paper masking tape built for demanding trade and industrial applications. The tape measures 38 mm (approximately 1.5 inches) wide and 60 yards long, with a 5 mil thickness that provides consistent handling and tear resistance. A rubber adhesive backing delivers reliable tack and clean removal across a range of surfaces. Tensile strength is rated at 19 lb/in, meeting ASTM D-6123 standards. The tan paper construction is easy to write on and holds up under typical paint masking and bundling conditions. This tape is sold individually per roll.

This tape is suited for box closing, bundling, paint masking, sealing, seaming, splicing, and tabbing tasks in residential and commercial environments. It is also noted for use on golf club shaft wrapping applications. Contractors, painters, and general tradespeople keep this tape on hand for surface prep, temporary fastening, and material handling across job sites. The 38 mm width is a practical size for masking trim, edges, and fixtures during finish work.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose material for best adhesion and clean removal. When used for paint masking, remove tape promptly after painting while the coating is still slightly tacky to minimize edge lifting or tearing. No tools are required for application or removal. Store rolls away from direct heat and moisture to maintain adhesive performance.
