3M 7100044170 Vinyl Tape 471 Blue 0.5in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100044170 is a blue vinyl tape in the 3M 471 series, measuring 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long. It uses a vinyl backing with a rubber adhesive system rated at 5.2 mil total thickness. The tape is engineered for lane marking, safety marking, color coding, and surface protection applications. Its dead-stretch construction helps produce straighter lines when applied, and the conformable backing allows it to follow curved or irregular surfaces without lifting. Licensed trades and facility maintenance technicians install this product in industrial, commercial, and institutional environments.

This tape is suited for floor marking in warehouses and production facilities, lane and safety delineation, abrasion protection on irregular surfaces, splicing, wrapping, and sealing. The blue color maintains visibility even under heavy abrasion conditions. The tape is also used for decoration and color-coding programs where consistent color retention is required. Clean removal characteristics reduce substrate damage during re-marking or scheduled maintenance cycles.

Key Features

• 5.2 mil vinyl backing with rubber adhesive for strong, conformable hold
• Dead-stretch construction promotes straight, accurate line application
• Color-stable under heavy abrasion — maintains blue finish in high-traffic areas
• Conformable to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or bridging
• Clean removal reduces adhesive residue and substrate damage
• Good solvent resistance for use in areas exposed to cleaning agents

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl marking and masking tape suitable for smooth and semi-smooth floor, wall, and equipment surfaces in industrial and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean and dry the substrate before application to maximize adhesion and edge definition. Apply firm, even hand pressure along the full tape length to seat the adhesive. For floor marking applications, ensure the surface is free of oils, waxes, and loose particles. When removing, pull the tape back at a low angle to support clean release and minimize any residue.
