3M? Vinyl Tape 472 is comprised of a heavy duty black vinyl backing with a
black pigmented rubber adhesive. The thick vinyl backing makes it ideal for
applications requiring both abrasion resistance and the inherent conformability of
vinyl. The rubber adhesive has good instant adhesion and sticks well to a variety
of surfaces.

Features
? Best results are attained when applied to clean, dry surface at temperatures
between 60° to 80°F (16° to 27°C).
? Thick backing is ideal where heavy abrasion is anticipated.
? Temperature resistance to 225°F (107°C).
? Pigmented adhesive will stain some surfaces. Testing by the user is
recommended to determine suitability in the proposed application.
? Resists most common solvents, care should be taken to avoid ketones, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, and esters, found in lacquer thinners, degreasers, paint strippers,
etc. which may cause the backing to swell or curl.
? Can be used in outdoor applications with clean removal from many surfaces up
to 6 months.
? Stays on outdoors for up to a year.
