Rugged ReliabilityWe#39;ve engineered our 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 to withstand intense and difficult conditions associated with electroplating and anodizing processes. It's built on a flexible vinyl backing that conforms to irregular or curved surfaces. It is resistant to most common solvents and has excellent resistance to chemicals used in electroplating and anodizing. This tape will hold up while operating at temperatures of up to 170F/76C. When you#39;re finished, the tape removes cleanly from most surfaces. In addition, the backing accepts marker ink and is printable using a thermal transfer process, making customization relatively easy when needed.Recommended ApplicationsMasking during electroplating operations, including both flat strip and overlapping masksMasking during anodizing operationsWrapping, patching, coated racks and masking irregular surfacesLabelingMilling and etchingPeening operationsSealing containers from water intrusionBringing Better Ideas to the Surface through Science and InnovationIn our 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division, we apply the science of adhesion to deliver innovative solutions that improve the design and manufacturing processes of companies around the world.
