3M 7000048407 Polyethylene Tape 5.3 Mil 2in X 36yd Black

Product Description

The 3M 7000048407 is a black polyethylene tape with a 5.3 mil (0.13 mm) polyethylene film backing and a rubber-based adhesive. It is designed for sealing, masking, and marking applications across industrial and trade environments. The low sulfur and halogen content makes it suitable for sensitive electronic processes, while the conformable backing allows it to follow irregular surfaces without lifting. The tape remains flexible at temperatures as low as -20 degrees F, making it reliable in cold storage and outdoor conditions. Technicians and assemblers working with printed circuit boards, electroplating lines, or general industrial sealing tasks will find this tape well-suited for the work.

This tape is used across a range of general industrial and electronics applications. Common uses include masking printed circuit boards during electroplating, holding silicone chips in place during processing, sealing containers, and applying safety markings or color-coding to equipment and surfaces. Its solvent-resistant properties make it appropriate for environments where exposure to cleaning agents or process chemicals is expected. The tape is sold in roll form and is handled by maintenance technicians, electronics assemblers, and industrial trades professionals.

Key Features

• 5.3 mil polyethylene film backing for durable, conformable coverage
• Rubber adhesive with low sulfur and halogen content for electronics-safe masking
• Remains flexible at temperatures down to -20 degrees F
• Good solvent resistance for use in chemical process environments
• Conformable construction follows irregular or curved surfaces
• Suitable for electroplating masking, PCB masking, container sealing, and color-coding

Compatibility

Designed for general industrial masking, sealing, and color-coding applications including electroplating lines, printed circuit board processing, and container sealing where a conformable, solvent-resistant polyethylene tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean and dry before application to ensure full adhesive contact. When using for electroplating or PCB masking, verify that the tape edges are fully sealed to prevent process fluid from undercutting the bond. Remove the tape promptly after the masking process is complete to avoid adhesive transfer. No special tools are required for application; standard tape dispensers or hand application are appropriate.
