3M™ Electroplating Tape 470 is a vinyl backed tape with a rubber adhesive. It is resistant to most chemicals typically used in electroplating processes. With a conformable, abrasion resistant backing it's ideal for use with plating chemicals, electroplating nickel, electroless nickel, milling and etching in titanium 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 170°F/76°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 Labeling Milling and etching in titanium Peening operations Sealing containers from water intrusion
