3M472 is a 10.4 mil. tape consisting of vinyl backing with a pigmented rubber adhesive for abrasion protection and many outdoor weathering applications. Best results are attained when applied to a clean and dry surface at temperatures between 60°F to 80°F. Thick backing is ideal where heavy abrasion resistance is anticipated. Temperature resistance to 225°F. Pigmented adhesive will stain some surfaces. Testing by the user is recommended to determine suitability in the proposed application. While 472 tape resists most common solvents, care should be taken to avoid ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and esters, found in lacquer thinners, degreasers, paint strippers, etc. which cause the backing to swell or curl. To obtain best tape performance, use within 12 months from date of manufacture and store under normal conditions of 60°F to 80°F and 40% to 60% relative humidity in the original carton.
