3M™ Vinyl & Polyethylene Tapes

Add Color, Control, and Precision to Your Process with 3M™ 471 Vinyl Tape

3M™ 471 Vinyl Tape is a high-performance, pressure-sensitive vinyl tape designed for floor marking, color coding, masking, splicing, and decorative striping. It features a rubber-based adhesive that sticks instantly and removes cleanly from most surfaces.

Unlike ordinary tapes, 3M™ 471 Vinyl Tape is highly conformable, easy to apply around curves, and available in a range of vivid colors. Whether used in industrial safety, electronics assembly, or general manufacturing, this tape offers reliable performance with excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility.

And now with EKO-TECH’s precision converting capabilities, you can get it ready-to-use in the exact size, shape, and form you need.
