Utility Paper Masking Tape

IPG 515 is a versatile, general-purpose utility paper masking tape manufactured by Intertape Polymer Group for industrial, aviation hangar, and shop maintenance applications. Featuring a conformable, semi-bleached beige crepe paper backing coated with a pressure-sensitive natural and synthetic rubber blend adhesive, this tape provides quick stick, reliable holding power, and clean removal properties. Serving as a direct performance equivalent to 3M General Use Masking Tape 201+, IPG 515 is qualified under federal and ASTM procurement specifications, including C.I.D. A-A-883B Type I and ASTM D6123 / D6123M Type I.

Aviation Shop Utility Advantage: Designed for non-critical masking, temporary securing, light bundling, and parts labeling, IPG 515 offers exceptional conformability around irregular surfaces, tools, and hardware. It peels away cleanly from bare metals, painted panels, plastics, and wood without leaving sticky adhesive residue under room and moderate temperatures (50°F to 180°F / 10°C to 82°C).
