Electrically conductive lead foil tape with rubber adhesive for electroplating masking, radiation barriers, and industrial applications. Conformable, flame-resistant, and temperature-rated from -60°F to 225°F.
3M™ Lead Foil Tape 420 is a premium electrically and thermally conductive tape engineered for demanding industrial applications. This highly conformable tape features a dark gray lead foil backing coated with a distinctive green rubber adhesive that provides excellent initial grab and long-lasting bond performance. The tape resists flame, moisture, weather, UV degradation, and many chemicals used in electroplating and anodizing processes, making it ideal for specialized masking and protection applications.
The rubber-based adhesive bonds exceptionally well to a variety of surfaces, including most metals, with performance maintained over a wide temperature range from -60°F to 225°F. This malleable tape can be shaped into complex or detailed patterns and die-cut into specific shapes to meet precise assembly and manufacturing process requirements. The lead foil backing can be burnished to fully cover the adhesive and allow full contact of the lead foil to the metal base, resulting in a continuation of the electrical path and reducing build-up at the adhesive interface.
With an easy-release film liner, 3M Lead Foil Tape 420 is formulated to be electrically and thermally conductive with strong acid and base resistance. Each roll measures 12 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 6.8 mils, providing substantial coverage for industrial applications. The product meets ASTM D3652, ASTM D3759, and ASTM D3833 specifications and is designed exclusively for industrial and occupational use.
