3M 7000028889 Electroplating Tape 470 Tan 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028889 is a vinyl-backed electroplating masking tape designed for use in industrial plating operations. The tape features a rubber adhesive and measures 7.1 mil in total thickness, providing reliable resistance to most chemicals commonly encountered in standard electroplating processes. It is stocked in tan and supplied in a 2-inch-wide by 36-yard roll. Plating technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this tape as a masking solution when selective plating or surface protection is required during production runs.

This tape is suited for a wide range of electroplating masking applications in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing environments. It handles flat strip masking, overlapping mask configurations, rack wrapping, patching of coated racks, and masking of irregular surfaces that standard rectangular masks cannot conform to. The vinyl backing gives it enough flexibility to conform to curved or uneven workpiece profiles without lifting at the edges during the plating process.

Key Features

• 7.1 mil total thickness vinyl backing with rubber adhesive construction
• Chemical resistant to most solutions used in standard electroplating operations
• Suitable for flat strip and overlapping mask configurations
• Conforms to irregular surfaces, curves, and rack geometries
• Used for wrapping and patching coated plating racks
• Supplied in a 2-inch x 36-yard roll format for production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style masking consumable for use in typical electroplating and surface finishing operations where chemical-resistant vinyl tape is required.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by qualified plating technicians or industrial maintenance personnel following facility-specific masking procedures. Ensure the workpiece surface is clean and dry before applying tape to achieve full adhesive contact. Remove the tape promptly after the plating cycle is complete to prevent adhesive residue buildup, following the facility's standard strip and inspection workflow.
