3M™ UPVC Tape 616 is an optically transparent and photographically opaque tape primarily designed for many lithographic stripping applications in the graphic arts industry. It is available in a wide selection of widths and lengths to meet almost any demand.
Resist the effects of changing atmospheric conditions, allowing repeated and extended burn times, with 3M™ UPVC Tape 616. Our tape has a Ruby Red UPVC film backing that allows accurate positioning. This backing is pin-hole free to provide continuous opacity to the light source, reducing retouching. It’s also low caliper to minimise ghosting and provide sharper definition. It features a long-ageing adhesive, which is resistant to softening – stopping oozing during use and storage.
