Rugged Reliability We've engineered our 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 to withstand intense and difficult conditions associated with electroplating and anodizing processes. It's built on a flexible vinyl backing that conforms to irregular or curved surfaces. It is resistant to most common solvents. This tape will hold up while operating at temperatures of up to 250°F/121°C. When you're finished, the tape removes cleanly from most surfaces. In addition, the backing accepts marker ink and is printable using a thermal transfer process, making customization relatively easy when needed.
Recommended Applications
- Masking during electroplating operations, including both flat strip and overlapping masks
- Masking during anodizing operations
- Wrapping, patching, coated racks and masking irregular surfaces
- Labeling
- Milling and etching
- Peening operations
- Sealing containers from water intrusion
- Excellent resistance to most chemicals used in typical electroplating and anodizing operations
- Abrasion, moisture and wear resistant to withstand rugged working conditions
- Rubber adhesive provides excellent holding strength on many surfaces
- This version of 470 has no liner
