Types spring to mind,
Non-sticky thick white PTFE tape used to gas seal threaded pipes, but pretty much useless for anything else.
Other 'self-sticking' tape permanently bonds to itself & anything else, used to waterproof/repair leaks, etc, wouldn't use except for its' intended use.
I use Tamiya Masking tape for masking, it works, doesn't leave residue, & is easy to get.
