3M Anodizing masking tape 8985L Purple 25 mm x 66 m 7100207280

3M (TM) Anodizing Masking Tape 8985L is a reliable silicone-free solution for chromic acid anodizing (Type I). The high-performance tape is particularly resistant to chromic acid and produces sharp masking edges. Thanks to the rubber-resin adhesive, it is easy to remove. The resistant polyester backing ensures that chromic acid anodizing baths (type 1) cannot harm the 3M (TM) Anodizing Masking Tape 8985L. The silicone-free rubber-resin adhesive minimizes the risk of silicone contamination, which could have a negative impact on subsequent work such as bonding or painting. The tape produces sharp masking edges, minimizes paint bleed and rework and can be used with or without a chemical film on a variety of aluminum and other metal alloys. The 3M (TM) Anodizing Masking Tape 8985L is suitable as a replacement for complicated and messy liquid masking that creates unpleasant odors. The transparent tape is easy to position and requires fewer work steps. In contrast to liquid masking, there is no waiting time until curing, so masking and de-masking can be carried out more quickly. It is easy to apply and can be removed cleanly in one piece at the end. The violet transparent adhesive tape is rolled up on a clearly visible printed backing material; the protective paper facilitates punching work.
