American "Orange Mask" OM High-Temp Orange Masking Tape by IPG | 250°F

American "Orange Mask" OM by IPG is a premium high-performance orange masking tape — the recognizable orange tape pros reach for when a job demands more than beige. This saturated crepe paper orange painters tape pairs a high-temperature rubber-based adhesive with a bright orange, treated backing that resists UV for up to 72 hours and holds through bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes. It delivers sharp paint lines, aggressive-yet-clean removal, and resistance to solvents, water, and paint bleed-through — making this American masking tape a go-to for automotive refinishing, marine, RV, aerospace, and general high-performance masking. The vivid orange color makes masked areas easy to spot and verify on the job. Available in Orange in 18mm to 48mm widths on 54.8m (60 yd) rolls, 3-inch core.
