Intertape 99488 Painters Tape 24mm 54.8m 5.5 Mil Blue

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 99488 is a blue crepe paper painters tape designed for paint masking and surface protection applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. The tape measures 24 mm wide and 54.8 meters long per roll, with a 5.5 mil thickness that provides reliable conformability around edges and curves. A rubber adhesive backing delivers firm adhesion to a wide range of surfaces while releasing cleanly without tearing or leaving residue. Licensed contractors, painting crews, and trade professionals rely on this tape for production masking work where clean lines and reliable removal are required.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial painting projects where masking must hold through multiple coats and varying exposure conditions. Rated applications include outdoor masking, standard interior paint masking, and use on both painted and unpainted surfaces. The rubber adhesive system is formulated to remove cleanly after up to 14 days of sunlight exposure, making it a practical choice for exterior trim, window frames, and facade work where tape may remain applied across multiple workdays or weather cycles.

Key Features

• Removes cleanly after up to 14 days of sunlight exposure without adhesive transfer
• Rubber adhesive bonds to painted and unpainted surfaces without surface damage
• 5.5 mil paper backing conforms to contoured edges and irregular surfaces
• 23 lb per inch tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Blue color provides clear visual contrast against most substrate colors for precise edge identification
• Suitable for outdoor masking, paint masking, and mixed-surface applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on painted and unpainted surfaces in outdoor masking and interior paint masking applications, consistent with the Intertape PT14 series product family.

Installation Notes

Apply tape to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose paint for best adhesion and edge definition. Press the tape edge firmly along the masking line before painting to prevent paint bleed under the tape. Remove the tape at a low angle while the paint is still slightly wet or fully cured, depending on the coating manufacturer's recommendation, to achieve a clean paint line. Avoid leaving tape applied beyond the rated 14-day sunlight exposure window to ensure residue-free removal.
