The 3M 470 Electroplating Tape is a high-performance vinyl tape specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of electroplating and anodizing processes. Its unique tan vinyl backing and rubber adhesive provide a reliable barrier that resists the most common plating chemicals and acidic baths, preventing undercutting and ensuring clean lines.
- Chemical resistance ensures the tape maintains its integrity when exposed to aggressive chromic acid and other plating chemicals.
- Excellent conformability allows the tape to seal effectively around irregular surfaces and contours, preventing leaks and ensuring precise masking.
- Clean removal properties reduce post-processing labor by leaving minimal residue on surfaces after the plating cycle is complete.
This tape is ideal for industrial finishing professionals and plating specialists who require a durable masking solution for critical metal surface treatments and chemical milling operations.
