Vinyl Tape 471

3M™ Vinyl Tape 471 is a highly conformable colored tape with a vinyl backing and rubber adhesive. It is an ideal choice for many marking, labeling, and general-purpose applications. This tape is designed to withstand scraping, abrasion, and weathering while maintaining long-lasting performance. 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471 is available in 18 colors and a transparent option.

Conformable to irregular surfaces and easy to remove, 3M Vinyl Tape 471 can conform to irregular, curved, and convex surfaces. Combined with its dead-stretch properties, this tape performs well in wrapping, bundling, and sealing applications. The rubber adhesive offers excellent adhesion and superior holding strength on many surfaces. The backing and adhesive characteristics work together to prevent edge lifting, keeping the tape in place. For most surfaces, the tape can be removed cleanly once the job is finished, which helps reduce cleanup and labor costs. Its conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removability also make 471 Vinyl Tape an ideal choice for general-purpose paint masking and decoration. Recommended applications include lane and safety marking, corrosion-sensitive applications, color coding, sealing of metal canisters and storage containers, decoration, paint masking, and bundling and reinforcing. For temporary surface protection, 471 Vinyl Tape maintains vibrant colors even under harsh conditions due to its excellent abrasion resistance. Because it retains its original color in environments involving scraping, abrasion, and solvents, this tape is well-suited for lane marking and labeling applications. Combined with the advantage of easy removal, 471 Vinyl Tape serves as a faster, more versatile, and lower-cost alternative to painting. Using tape instead of paint for lane marking also eliminates the need for ventilating paint solvents. Because 3M 471 Vinyl Tape contains low levels of leachable halogens and sulfur, it can be used in some corrosion-sensitive applications, such as in the nuclear or stainless steel industries.
