For tape applications requiring resistance to most chemicals used in electroplating and anodizing processes, use our 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470. This tan, conformable tape features an abrasion resistant backing ideal for use with plating chemicals, anodizing chemicals, milling, etching and peening operations.
Rugged Reliability
We've engineered our 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 to withstand intense and difficult conditions associated with electroplating and anodizing processes. It's built on a vinyl backing that is non-corrosive and flexible, allowing it to conform to irregular or curved surfaces while remaining resistant to most common solvents as well as offering excellent resistance to chemicals used in electroplating. This tape will hold up while operating at temperatures of up to 250°F/121°C. In addition, the backing accepts marker ink and is printable using a thermal transfer process making customization and marking relatively easy when needed. When you're finished, the tape removes cleanly without unwanted residue.
Recommended Applications
Masking during electroplating operations, including both flat strip and overlapping masks
Masking during anodizing operations
Wrapping, patching, coated racks and masking irregular surfaces
