203
General Purpose Masking Tape
203 is a 5.2 mil, crepe paper tape which is a general purpose masking product used for holding, bundling and sealing. The rubber adhesive provides good instant adhesion that sticks to a wide variety of surfaces and reduces time and effort needed for rub down. Good holding power to help resist lifting or curling. Crepe paper backing is conformable to maintain integrity when formed around a corner. Backing resists slivering yet exhibits easy hand tearability. Backsize treatment provides easy controlled unwind. Good paint hold-out that resists bleed through. Designed for indoor use only, should not be subjected to outdoor or UV exposure as it may become very difficult to remove.
