Professional electroplating masking tape with superior chemical and solvent resistance, ideal for plating and anodizing operations up to 250°F with clean removal and conformable vinyl backing.
The 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 is a professional-grade masking tape specifically engineered for demanding electroplating and anodizing operations. This tan-colored conformable tape features a durable vinyl backing that provides excellent resistance to the harsh chemicals used in electroplating, anodizing, milling, etching, and peening processes. The tape is built to withstand intense working conditions while maintaining its integrity and adhesive strength throughout the application process.
Designed with rugged reliability in mind, this electroplating tape offers superior performance characteristics including excellent chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and moisture resistance. The flexible vinyl backing conforms seamlessly to irregular and curved surfaces, making it ideal for masking complex geometries in plating operations. With a rubber adhesive system, the tape provides excellent holding strength on metal substrates and other surfaces commonly found in industrial plating environments. The tape operates effectively at temperatures up to 121°C (250°F) and resists most common solvents used in electroplating and anodizing processes.
This version of the 470 tape comes without a liner, making it ready for immediate use in high-volume production environments. The backing accepts marker ink and is printable using thermal transfer processes, allowing for easy customization and labeling when needed. Upon completion of the masking process, the tape removes cleanly from most surfaces without leaving residue or damaging the underlying substrate. Each case contains 1 roll measuring 48 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 7.1 mil.
