Premium transparent vinyl masking tape with unique stretch properties for die-cutting and surface protection. Features rubber adhesive, excellent conformability, and clean removal for industrial applications.
3M™ Vinyl Tape 4712 Transparent is a premium industrial-grade masking and surface protection tape designed for demanding applications across automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries. This versatile tape features unique stretch properties that enable it to conform to uneven, curved, and convex surfaces while remaining stretched without lifting or retracting after application. The transparent formulation allows for visibility during masking operations, making it ideal for precision paint masking, die-cutting applications, and temporary surface protection.
The tape is engineered with a rubber adhesive that provides excellent holding strength and quick stick to many substrates including metal, plastic, glass, and painted surfaces. With a total thickness of 5.2 mil and a backing thickness of 4.1 mil, this tape offers durability and reliability for long-term applications. The linered version ensures clean, easy handling and is specifically designed for die-cutting into intricate shapes for custom applications. One-piece, clean removal from most surfaces helps reduce cleanup and labor costs significantly.
Designed for industrial and occupational use, 3M™ Vinyl Tape 4712 Transparent demonstrates excellent abrasion and solvent resistance, providing long service life in challenging environments. Operating effectively between 40°F and 170°F, this tape maintains its performance across a wide temperature range. With an adhesion strength of 34 oz/in and tensile strength of 16 lb/in, combined with 150% elongation at break, this tape delivers consistent performance for anodizing, electroplating, printable label applications, and custom paint masking projects.
