Highlights
  • Built for masking in chromic acid (Type I) anodization baths
  • Masks and de-masks faster than liquid masking — without the cure time
  • Transparent backing helps make for fast and accurate positioning
  • Helps ensure sharp masking lines and prevent leaking to reduce the need for rework
  • Non-silicone formulation helps reduce post-process coating and bonding failures
  • Polyester backing uses a rubber adhesive and a film liner for added stability when die-cutting

3M™ Anodization Masking Tape is a reliable, non-silicone solution for Type I (chromic acid) anodization. As an alternative to complex and messy liquid masking, this tape helps provide sharp edges that minimize leakage and the need for rework — all in a fraction of the time and effort. Mask and de-mask without the curing time, or the unpleasant odour, by using 3M™ Anodization Masking Tape.

When working with aluminum or other alloys, accurate placement is an integral part of the anodization masking process. The transparent backing of 3M™ Anodization Masking Tape helps make application seamless and exact, while its strength enables a clean, one-piece removal when demasking. This tape also comes equipped with a film liner that adds stability for easy die-cutting when custom shapes are needed. Use 3M™ Anodization Masking Tape for your next job and reimagine the way you mask.

Suggested applications
  • Ideal for use on aerospace components, precision-machined parts, and welded assemblies
  • Designed for masking aluminum or a variety of other alloys
