Premium vinyl electroplating tape with exceptional chemical resistance, conformable backing, and clean removal. Ideal for masking during electroplating and anodizing operations at temperatures up to 250°F.
3M Electroplating Tape 470 is a premium-grade industrial masking tape specifically engineered for electroplating and anodizing operations. This tan-colored vinyl tape features exceptional chemical resistance to most solvents and plating chemicals, with a flexible backing that conforms perfectly to irregular and curved surfaces. The tape operates reliably at temperatures up to 121°C (250°F) and provides excellent abrasion, moisture, and wear resistance to withstand the most demanding industrial working conditions. Each case contains 8 rolls of 36-yard length with 6-inch width, offering substantial coverage for production environments.
The rubber adhesive formulation delivers excellent holding strength on multiple surfaces while maintaining clean removal properties that prevent residue and surface damage. The conformable vinyl backing accepts marker ink and is compatible with thermal transfer printing processes, enabling easy customization and identification when needed. This industrial-grade tape is ideal for masking applications during electroplating strip operations, overlapping masks, anodizing processes, wrapping, patching coated racks, and sealing containers from water intrusion. The 7.1-mil thickness provides optimal balance between durability and conformability.
3M's Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division has engineered this solution by applying advanced adhesion science to deliver innovative products that improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality. The tape's no-liner design and 180% elongation at break ensure superior flexibility and performance in challenging metalworking, aerospace, and general industrial applications. With an 18-month shelf life and removable adhesive formulation, this tape represents a cost-effective solution for professional electroplating operations requiring reliable, chemical-resistant masking protection.
