| FEATURES: |
- Pigmented backings maintain their vivid colors even when exposed to heavy abrasion.
- Conformability and dead stretch properties are ideal for taping, wrapping or sealing many curved or irregular surfaces.
- Longer life than many competitive products which are surface printed.
- Longer periods between rework helps improve productivity.
- Readily conformable to many irregular surfaces which stays in place.
- Abrasion resistant and longer potential application life.
- Dead stretch properties provide straighter lines when masking, marking and sealing.
- Easier to work with, less rework and improved appearance.
- Sharper colors for color coding or marking systems for a better appearance, draws attention and helps enhance plant safety.
- Rubber adhesive which provides good adhesion to many surfaces for easier application and excellent holding strength.
- Clean removal which helps reduce clean-up and labor costs.
- Good solvent resistance for excellent application protection and longer product life.

|
| 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™ Vinyl Tape 471 and 4712 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.

|
| APPLICATION IDEAS: |
- Ideal for masking, wrapping or sealing many curved or irregular surfaces.
- Excellent for many lane and safety marking applications.
- Ideal for color coding, abrasion protection, decoration and splicing applications.
