Intertape OM1855 Masking Tape 18mm 60yd Orange

Product Description

The INTERTAPE OM1855 is an orange crepe paper masking tape with a rubber adhesive backing, designed for masking, bundling, and surface protection applications in trade and industrial environments. The tape measures 18 mm wide and 60 yards long with a 7.3 mil thickness, giving it enough body to resist tearing during application and removal. A tensile strength of 23 lb/in keeps the tape intact under moderate mechanical stress. It is rated for oven exposure up to 225 degrees F for up to 30 minutes, making it suitable for paint baking and powder-coat masking workflows. HVAC technicians, painters, and sheet metal fabricators are the typical end users.

The OM1855 fits residential and light commercial painting, HVAC ductwork masking, and fabrication staging. Its moisture and solvent resistance make it reliable in environments where surface prep involves cleaning solvents or humid conditions. The controlled unwind feature allows consistent single-hand dispensing without tape bunching or flagging, which matters on production lines or repetitive masking tasks. The UV resistance extends its usability to short-term outdoor staging or sun-exposed masking applications.

Key Features

• Oven-safe up to 225 degrees F for 30 minutes — suitable for paint baking and powder-coat masking
• 23 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Controlled unwind for consistent single-hand dispensing
• Moisture and solvent resistant for use in wet or chemically active environments
• UV resistant for short-term outdoor or sun-exposed masking
• Stain resistant — removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue on most surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose orange masking tape for painting, fabrication staging, HVAC masking, and light industrial bundling applications requiring short-term heat resistance.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose material for best adhesion. Remove the tape promptly after use to reduce the risk of adhesive transfer, especially on painted or coated surfaces. When used in oven or heat-cure applications, do not exceed the rated 225 degrees F temperature or 30-minute exposure limit. No special tools are required beyond a standard tape dispenser or utility knife.
