IPG PT14 14-Day UV-Resistant Blue Masking Tape

IPG's PT14 is a 14-day UV-resistant blue fine crepe paper masking tape, engineered for jobs where masking gets left in the sun. A specially formulated pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber adhesive holds securely through up to two weeks of direct sunlight, then releases cleanly from most surfaces with no residue. Its smooth backing delivers superior paint lines with reduced fingertip abrasion, while excellent conformability, easy unwind, and resistance to humidity and paint bleed-through make it a reliable choice for both interior and outdoor masking.
