3M™ 471 Vinyl Tape is a highly conformable, colored tape with a vinyl backing and rubber adhesive. It is ideal for many marking, coding,
and general-purpose applications.
This tape is designed to withstand abrasion, scratching, and weathering for long-lasting performance.
3M™ 471 Vinyl Tape is available in 18 colors and a transparent option.
Conforms to Irregular Surfaces and Removes Cleanly: 3M 471 Vinyl Tape conforms to irregular surfaces, curves, and convex surfaces.
Combined with its low stretch recovery, this tape performs well in wrapping, bundling, and sealing applications.
The rubber adhesive provides good adhesion and excellent holding strength to many surfaces.
The combination of backing and adhesive properties helps prevent edge lifting, keeping the tape in place.
On most surfaces, the tape removes cleanly when the job is done, helping to reduce cleaning and labor costs.
The conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removal also make 471 Vinyl Tape an ideal choice for general-purpose paint masking and decoration.
Recommended Uses: Lane and safety marking applications, applications sensitive to corrosion,
color coding, sealing metal cans and storage containers, decoration, paint masking, bundling and reinforcing,
temporary surface protection. Maintains Bright Colors Under Harsh Conditions: 471 Vinyl Tape offers good abrasion resistance.
Because it maintains its color under scratching, abrasion, and solvent exposure, this tape is ideal for lane marking and coding applications.
These characteristics, combined with the ease of removal, make 471 Vinyl Tape a faster, more versatile, and less expensive option than paint.
Using tape instead of paint for lane marking also eliminates the need for ventilation of paint solvents.
Because 471 Vinyl Tape contains low levels of leachable halogens and sulfur, it can be used in some corrosion-sensitive applications,
such as in the nuclear or stainless steel industries.
