Handling/Application Information
Application Examples
• Excellent for many lane and safety marking applications. When used with an applicator like the M-77 dispenser, 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471 can be quickly applied to define storage and safety areas. The fact that 3M tape 471 tape is quickly and cleanly removed in most cases makes it a faster, more versatile and less costly option than painting. Using tape for lane marking instead of painting also eliminates the need to ventilate paint solvents from an open area.
• Because it has low leachable halogens and sulfur, 3M™ Vinyl Tapes 471 can be used in corrosion sensitive applications like the nuclear and stainless steel industries.
• 3M tape 471 stretches to seal canisters and other storage containers that require a tight seal.
• Vivid colors of the tapes make them ideal for color, coding and decorating.
Application Techniques
• Best results are attained when applied to a clean, dry surface at temperatures between 60° to 85°F (16° to 27°C).
Note:While 3M tape 471 resists many common solvents, it should not be exposed to ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons and esters found in lacquer thinner, degreasers, paint strippers, etc., which may cause the backing to swell or curl.
