GENERAL INFORMATION

3M472 is a 10.4 mil. tape consisting of vinyl backing with a pigmented rubber adhesive for abrasion protection and many outdoor weathering applications. Best results are attained when applied to a clean and dry surface at temperatures between 60°F to 80°F. Thick backing is ideal where heavy abrasion resistance is anticipated. Temperature resistance to 225°F. Pigmented adhesive will stain some surfaces. Testing by the user is recommended to determine suitability in the proposed application. While 472 tape resists most common solvents, care should be taken to avoid ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and esters, found in lacquer thinners, degreasers, paint strippers, etc. which cause the backing to swell or curl. To obtain best tape performance, use within 12 months from date of manufacture and store under normal conditions of 60°F to 80°F and 40% to 60% relative humidity in the original carton.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
