3M 7000123463 Electroplating Tape 470 Tan 4in X 36yd 7.1 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000123463 is an electroplating masking tape designed for professional masking applications in plating operations. Built on a vinyl backing with a rubber adhesive system, it measures 7.1 mil thick and comes in a 4-inch-wide by 36-yard roll. The tan vinyl construction provides strong resistance to most chemicals commonly encountered in electroplating baths and processes. The rubber adhesive delivers reliable hold on metal, coated, and irregular surfaces throughout the plating cycle. Industrial maintenance technicians, electroplaters, and finishing shop workers are the primary installers of this product.

This tape is suited for both flat strip masking and overlapping mask configurations across a wide range of electroplating operations. It performs well when wrapping cylindrical components, patching coated racks, and masking irregular or contoured surfaces where a conformable vinyl tape is required. The 4-inch width makes it efficient for covering larger surface areas in a single pass, reducing labor time on rack preparation and component masking in high-volume finishing environments.

Key Features

• 7.1 mil vinyl backing provides durability and conformability over irregular surfaces
• Rubber adhesive system bonds reliably to metal, coated racks, and contoured components
• Resistant to most chemicals used in typical electroplating processes
• Supports both flat strip masking and overlapping mask techniques
• 4-inch width covers larger areas efficiently, reducing rack prep time
• Suitable for wrapping, patching, and masking irregular surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use in electroplating, anodizing, and metal finishing masking applications where chemical-resistant vinyl tape is required. Appropriate for masking flat, wrapped, and irregular surfaces on components and plating racks.

Installation Notes

Apply in finishing shops or plating facilities by trained electroplating or industrial maintenance personnel. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application to achieve full adhesive contact. Remove the tape promptly after the plating cycle is complete to prevent adhesive transfer or residue buildup. Follow facility safety protocols when working around plating chemicals and baths.
