Intertape PG21..178 Masking Tape 18mm 60yd Tan

Product Description

The INTERTAPE PG21..178 is a general-purpose paper masking tape designed for painting, bundling, labeling, and surface protection tasks. The tape is 18 mm wide (approximately 0.71 inches), 60 yards long, and 7.3 mil thick. It features a rubber adhesive that bonds to a range of surfaces and delivers a tensile strength of 26 lb per inch for reliable hold during application. The tan paper backing is conformable, allowing it to follow curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or buckling. It is used by painters, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general trade professionals who need a dependable masking solution on the job site or in the shop.

This tape is well suited for residential and light commercial painting work where crisp, clean paint lines are required. Its paint flake-resistant construction helps prevent paint bleed-through at the tape edge. The adhesive is rated for removal after exposure to temperatures up to 325 degrees F for 30 minutes, making it appropriate for warm to hot removal conditions. Cold removal is also possible, though warm removal is recommended for cleanest results. Typical applications include masking trim, fixtures, pipe threads, and surfaces prior to spray or brush painting.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and paint-line performance. Remove the tape promptly after painting while the surface is still warm when possible, pulling back at a low angle to avoid damaging the substrate. Do not leave the tape in place longer than necessary after painting, as extended dwell time can affect clean removal. No special tools are required for application or removal.
