3M Vinyl and Polyethylene Tapes: Embossing & Tape Supplies Pty Limited.

3M^TM Vinyl and Polyethylene Tapes
Comformable - For many applications such as fine line paint masking, can sealing, surface protection and identification. In this area, no backing type outperforms vinyl and polyethylene. Clean Removal - For many applications that require no adhesive residue left on the surface after removal. Our specially formulated adhesive systems have been successfully used for many years in many applications requiring clean removal. Colour Coding - Ten different colours are available with 3M 471 Vinyl Tape, and six different colours available with 3M 483 Polyethylene Tape, making these products ideal for many of your colour coding, identification and decorative requirements. Abrasion Resistant - the "colour throughout" concept used in manufacturing 3M vinyl and polyethylene backings give these products extra wear life for many applications that require resistance from abrasion, such as aisle marking. Chemically Resistant - The chemical resistance of both vinyl and polyethylene backings make these products ideal for many applications, such as metal plating, that involve exposure or resistance to chemical environments.

Fine Line Paint Masking: The excellent dead stretch properties of the vinyl backing, combined with the transfer resistance of a firm rubber resin adhesive system, allow 3M 471 Vinyl Tape (Blue) to work well as a fine line paint masking tape for this truck manufacturer.	Colour Coding and Identification: The 10 vivid colours available with 3M 471 Vinyl Tape, combined with the firmness and immediate adhesion of the rubber-resin adhesive system, allow this product to work well for many colour coding identification requirements.	Aisle Marking and Hazard Identification: The durability and abrasion resistance of the 4 mil "colour throughout" vinyl backing on 3M 471 Vinyl Tape and the adhesive side printing of 3M 5700 (White / Black) Tape and 3M 5702 Safety Stripe (Yellow / Black) Tape, allow them to work well for many safety marking requirements.

Metal Plating: The chemical resistance and conformability of the vinyl backing, combined with the chemical resistance and immediate adhesion of the rubber resin adhesive system, allow 3M 470 Electroplating Tape to work well for masking the non-plated areas if this helicopter blade.	Sealing End Caps: The conformability and UV resistance of the black polyethylene backing, combined with the transfer resistance and low halogen content of the rubber resin adhesive system, allow 3M 483 Polyethylene (Black) Tape to work well for sealing end caps on metal pipes stored outdoors at this nuclear power facility.	Outdoor Preservation: The conformability, UV and moisture resistance of the polyethylene backing, combined with a transfer resistant rubber resin adhesive, allow 3M 481 (Black) and 3M 4811 (White) Preservation Sealing Tapes to work well as sealing tapes, as in this aircraft mothballing application.
