American® Orange Mask® OM by IPG® High-Temp Premium Paper Masking Tape | Orange | Multiple Sizes | 54.8m | Marine, Auto & Composites Grade | UV & Waterborne Compatible

Performance grade masking built for paint shops that can't afford do-overs — the American® Orange Mask® (OM) by IPG® delivers superior adhesion, UV resistance, and high conformability for transportation paint applications. Built on a fine crepe paper backing with a natural rubber/resin adhesive, OM unwinds and applies smoothly, conforms to compound curves without lifting, and removes cleanly to deliver crisp paint lines with no bleed-through. Specially formulated to bond to semi-permanent release agents, it's ideal for in-mold masking in marine and composites work, and a workhorse across automotive aftermarket, aerospace, bus, truck, RV, and automotive OEM paint lines. American® brand Orange Mask® is a 7.1 mil high-temperature paper masking tape with a fine crepe paper backing, natural rubber/resin adhesive, and 27 oz/in adhesion to steel. UV resistant up to 72 hours and rated for 250°F (121°C) at 30 minutes — suitable for force-dry and low-bake cycles. Waterborne paint compatible. Available in Orange in 18mm, 24mm, 36mm, and 48mm widths on 54.8m rolls. Made in the USA.

Key Features

• Sharp color separation — Crisp, defined paint lines on curves and straight runs; resists bleed-through for finish-quality results
• Exceptional cornering and conformability — Fine crepe paper backing follows compound curves without lifting, tearing, or fishmouthing
• Clean removal up to 72 hours — Natural rubber/resin adhesive lifts off cleanly with no residue, even after UV exposure
• High temperature resistance — Withstands 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes; suitable for force-dry and low-bake paint cycles
• UV, moisture, and solvent resistant — Holds up through outdoor masking, waterborne paints, and solvent-based coating systems
• Adheres to semi-permanent release agents — Specially formulated for in-mold masking in marine and composites manufacturing
• Controlled unwind — Smooth, consistent payout from the roll; no jerking, snapping, or telescoping
• Excellent backing adhesion when layered — Holds masking paper and film without slipping or releasing
• Waterborne paint compatible — Engineered for modern coating chemistries
• Made in the USA — Manufactured by Intertape Polymer Group, an ISO-certified producer
