Lead Foil Tape, 5 mils w/liner

Series: LF420

5 mil lead foil tape for plating, anodizing & radiation shielding (275°F)

MADE IN THEU.S.A.

Viadon’s 5 mil Lead Foil Tape is engineered for environments where standard rubber-adhesive tapes fail. While most lead tapes (like 3M 420) are rated for 225°F, our acrylic-based adhesive is effective up to 275°F (135°C), providing superior stability in high-heat plating baths and long-term shielding applications.

More About This Product

Why Choose Acrylic Adhesive over Rubber for lead foil tape?

Most users are accustomed to rubber-based lead tapes designed for temporary masking. Viadon’s acrylic adhesive offers distinct advantages for specific industrial needs:

  • - Higher Heat Resistance: Operates safely up to 275°F
  • Superior Solvent Resistance: Does not degrade when exposed to chemicals or plating solutions
  • Permanent Bond Strength: Perfect for moisture barriers, radiation shielding, and permanent x-ray plate applications where a long-term, high-strength bond is required
  • - Acid Resistant: Ideal for electroplating and anodizing environments

Standard Widths (28 options)
