Electrically conductive lead foil tape with rubber adhesive for industrial masking, radiation barriers, and electroplating applications. Conformable, flame-resistant, and temperature-rated -60°F to 225°F.
3M™ Lead Foil Tape 421 is an electrically and thermally conductive tape specifically engineered for industrial and occupational 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 bonds that remove cleanly from most surfaces. The malleable construction allows the tape to be shaped into complex or detailed patterns and can be die-cut into specific shapes to meet precise assembly and manufacturing process requirements.
The tape is formulated to resist flame, moisture, weather, UV degradation, chemicals, and radiation, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. With a maximum operating temperature of 225°F (107°C) and minimum operating temperature of -60°F (-51°C), this tape performs reliably over a wide variety of temperature conditions. 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 metal-to-metal contact that continues the electrical path and reduces build-up at the adhesive interface. The rubber-based adhesive combined with the rugged, durable backing provides exceptional long service life.
This product is delivered as a case containing 4 rolls, with each roll measuring 3 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 6.3 mils. 3M Lead Foil Tape 421 carries strong acid and base resistance, making it particularly suitable for electroplating applications, radiation barriers, moisture barriers, and chemical milling operations. The heat and light reflective properties protect, insulate, and enhance lighting efficiency in specialized industrial applications.
