Engineered Specifically for Resistance to Chromic Acid

3M™ Anodization Masking Tape 8985L is designed to withstand chromic acid anodization baths (Type I anodization) with its tough polyester carrier. It also features a non-silicone rubber adhesive to minimize the risk of silicone contamination that could affect downstream processes such as bonding or paint adhesion. This tape provides sharp masking edges, minimizing leakage and the need for rework, and can be used with or without chemical film on a variety of aluminum and other metal alloys.

3M™ Anodization Masking Tape 8985L is a transparent tape that can replace complex, messy liquid masking and the unpleasant odors involved. It is easy to position and can be applied in fewer steps, eliminating the cure time of a liquid so that overall masking and de-masking can be accomplished up to five times faster*. The ease of application and clean, one-piece removal mean users could save up to 60%* on labor time and associated costs. This tape is transparent purple with a printed backing for visibility and has a liner for easy die-cutting.

*Up to 5x faster and up to 60% reduction in labor time both based on 3M internal data.
