3M 7000050105 Electroplating Tape 470 Tan 0.75in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000050105 is a tan electroplating tape designed to mask and protect surfaces during electroplating, anodizing, and related metal finishing operations. Measuring 0.75 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 7.1 mil total thickness, this tape delivers reliable adhesion and chemical resistance in demanding production environments. It is used by metal finishing shops, industrial maintenance technicians, and manufacturing floor personnel who need consistent, clean masking performance on metal substrates during electrochemical surface treatment processes.

This tape is suited for rack plating and barrel plating setups where precise masking is critical to prevent coating buildup on threaded holes, contact surfaces, or other areas that must remain unplated. Its tan backing and conformable construction allow it to wrap around contoured parts and edges while maintaining a secure seal against plating bath solutions. Typical applications include chrome plating, nickel plating, anodizing, and powder coat masking in both job-shop and OEM production settings.

Key Features

• 7.1 mil total thickness provides durable masking in chemical bath environments
• 0.75 inch width suits standard threaded fastener and edge masking tasks
• 36-yard roll length reduces changeover frequency in production runs
• Tan backing allows visual confirmation of masked areas before plating
• Designed to resist chemical exposure common in electroplating bath solutions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style masking solution for electroplating, anodizing, and related metal surface finishing applications where chemical-resistant tape masking is required.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by metal finishing technicians or production line workers prior to immersion in plating baths. Surfaces should be clean and free of oils or contaminants before tape is applied to ensure proper adhesion and an effective seal. Remove tape promptly after the plating cycle is complete to prevent adhesive transfer or residue buildup. Follow all facility and regulatory safety procedures when handling plating bath chemicals.
