IPG PT14 is a blue fine crepe paper masking tape with a specially formulated pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber adhesive — a 14-day UV-resistant painter's tape designed for masking left in direct sunlight for up to fourteen days. It removes easily and cleanly from most surfaces, delivering 26 oz/in adhesion to steel and 23 lb/in tensile strength from a 5.5 mil backing. IPG's BLOC•it™ Clean Line Technology edge treatment keeps paint from seeping under the tape for crisp lines, the smooth backing reduces fingertip abrasion, and the tape corners well, is strong enough to hang plastic sheeting and masking paper, and resists humidity and staining. Available in blue, 48mm (1.88") x 54.8 m (60 yd) rolls, with no liner.
