3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 is a conformable and abrasion-resistant vinyl tape with excellent resistance to most chemicals used in typical electroplating processes. 3M™ Electroplating Tape 470L is a linered version of 3M vinyl tape 470 that may be used for die-cutting or large area applications. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures (above 250°F/121°C) and hot caustics may cause weakening of the adhesive bond. Excellent resistance to most chemicals used in typical electroplating operations. Resists most common solvents, care should be taken to avoid ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and esters, found in lacquer thinners, degreasers, paint strippers, etc., which may cause the backing to swell or curl.
Applications: Masking during many electroplating operations, including both flat strip and overlapping masks; wrapping, patching, coated racks and masking many irregular surfaces; labeling; sealing containers from water intrusion
