Product Description

3M Vinyl Tape 471 is a conformable colored vinyl tape with rubber adhesive for lane and safety marking, color coding, paint masking, sealing, and temporary surface protection. The 0.14 mm tape stretches around curved, convex, and irregular surfaces while retaining its applied shape. Pigmented backings maintain vivid color under heavy abrasion, and the tape removes cleanly from many surfaces. Good solvent resistance and a choice of seven colors support plant marking and general process use. Apply the tape to clean, dry surfaces at 16 to 27 deg C for best results.

Key features

Conformable dead stretch: The vinyl backing follows curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or retracting.
Clean surface removal: Rubber adhesive provides immediate holding strength and clean removal from many surfaces.
Abrasion-resistant color: Pigmented backings retain vivid identification colors under heavy abrasion.

Applications

Applications include lane and safety marking, color coding, fine-line paint masking, temporary surface protection, container sealing, bundling, and decorating.
