Intertape OM (OrangeMask®) is a high-temperature premium crepe paper masking tape with a natural rubber/resin adhesive — the orange masking tape IPG designed for masking fiberglass molds, gel-coat and composites, and for marine, bus, truck, RV and automotive OEM paint work. It withstands oven temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes and UV exposure up to 72 hours, delivering 27 oz/in adhesion to steel and 23 lb/in tensile strength from a 7.1 mil fine crepe backing. It lays a smooth, straight, clean paint-break line, conforms to curves, resists tearing, moisture and solvents, and removes cleanly without staining or adhesive transfer. Available in orange, 24mm, 36mm and 48mm x 54.8 m (60 yd) rolls, with no liner.
