3M™ 420 is an electrically and thermally conductive lead tape, designed for specialized industrial applications, including galvanizing, anodizing, and shielding processes. Thanks to its flexible lead backing, the tape conforms perfectly to uneven surfaces, and the acrylic adhesive ensures a durable and resistant bond. The product is distinguished by high resistance to flame, moisture, weathering, UV radiation, and aggressive chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments. The protective film allows for easy die-cutting into custom shapes, facilitating precise application during assembly or production.
