American PG21A High-Temp Paper Masking Tape by IPG | 325°F

American PG21A by IPG is a premium high-temperature masking tape — a saturated crepe paper high-heat masking tape engineered for demanding paint and powder-coat operations that see real oven heat. Its rubber-based adhesive withstands up to 325°F (163°C) for 30 minutes, so it holds tight through force-dry and bake cycles, then strips off clean and residue-free while still warm. Sharp paint lines, excellent conformability, and resistance to solvents, water, and paint bleed-through make PG21A a workhorse for automotive refinishing, aerospace masking, and industrial high-heat masking applications. Boeing and Airbus qualified, it's available in Beige in 12mm to 48mm widths on 54.8m (60 yd) rolls, 3-inch core.

Key Features of American PG21A High-Temp Masking Tape

• 325°F / 30-minute heat resistance — Holds through force-dry and oven bake cycles without lifting or discoloring — a true high-heat masking tape
• Clean, residue-free removal — Strips off cleanly even while warm, leaving no adhesive residue behind
• Sharp paint lines — Saturated crepe paper backing seals the edge to prevent bleed-through for crisp, professional lines
• Boeing & Airbus qualified — Approved for aerospace masking specifications
• Solvent and water resistant — Performs in automotive, aerospace, and industrial paint environments
• Excellent conformability — Flexible crepe backing wraps curves, trim, and irregular contours with ease
• Consistent, easy unwind — Reliable roll performance for fast masking in high-volume shops

Storage & Handling

Store in original packaging in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Recommended storage: 70°F (21°C) at 40–50% relative humidity. Use within 1 year of date of shipment. For best results, remove tape shortly after the bake cycle while the surface is still warm, and apply only to clean, dry surfaces free of grease, oil, or contaminants.
