Adhesive tape 3M 5S colour-coding starter pack 6 rolls Soft-PVC tape 471 assorted (MPN 7100123108)

Starter pack of 3M Soft-PVC adhesive tape designed for 5S colour-coding, containing six rolls of 471 tape in assorted colours. The tape provides durable PVC backing and a reliable pressure-sensitive adhesive that is suitable for marking floors, equipment, shelving and storage locations. Intended for visual management and organisation in workplaces, warehouses and production lines, this pack supports consistent colour-based identification and helps streamline workflow and safety without leaving excessive residue when removed correctly.

Advantages

The Soft-PVC construction offers flexibility and abrasion resistance while conforming to slightly uneven surfaces. The pressure-sensitive adhesive ensures stable attachment on typical industrial substrates such as concrete, metal and painted surfaces. Available in multiple colours in one starter pack, the tape enables immediate deployment of a 5S colour-coding system. The tape is easy to apply with no special tools required and can be removed cleanly from many surfaces when done properly.

Suitable for

• Floor marking and traffic lanes in manufacturing and logistics areas
• Colour-coding of shelves, bins and storage locations
• Equipment and machine identification for maintenance and safety zones
• Temporary site marking during reorganisation or production changes

Key specifications

• Material: Soft-PVC backing for flexibility and wear resistance
• Adhesive: Pressure-sensitive adhesive formulated for general-purpose industrial use
• Pack contents: Six rolls in assorted colours suitable for 5S colour-coding
• Typical application surfaces: concrete, painted metal, wood and plastic
• Durability: Designed for medium-term floor and equipment marking with abrasion resistance

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust, oil or loose particles before applying the tape. Unroll and cut the required length, align the tape along the intended marking line and press firmly to achieve full contact with the substrate. For floor applications, apply firm pressure across the tape and, where possible, roll the tape with a hand roller to promote adhesion and reduce air pockets. To remove, lift an edge and pull back at a low angle while applying steady, even force; for longer-term installations, test removal on an inconspicuous area first to check for residue.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve adhesive performance. For best results, apply at moderate ambient temperatures and allow time for the adhesive to set before subjecting marked areas to heavy traffic. When using on newly painted surfaces, allow the paint to fully cure according to the paint manufacturer's instructions prior to tape application.
