Premium transparent polyethylene tape with acrylic adhesive for repair, patching, and splicing applications. Flexible, conformable backing resists chemicals and solvents. Temperature rated -20°F to 170°F. 24 rolls per case.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 480 is a premium transparent repair and splicing tape engineered for general maintenance, patching, and sealing applications on polyethylene sheeting and irregular surfaces. Constructed with an extremely conformable polyethylene backing and non-yellowing transparent acrylic adhesive, this tape delivers exceptional flexibility and durability in demanding industrial environments. The clear backing ensures repairs remain virtually invisible while providing excellent chemical and solvent resistance for long-lasting performance.
This versatile tape features a 5.1 mil thickness with a 2-inch width and 36-yard length per roll, making it ideal for both small and large-scale repair projects. With an elongation at break of 520%, the tape stretches easily to conform to textured and irregular surfaces, creating tight seals that maintain integrity through temperature extremes from -20°F to 170°F. The acrylic adhesive bonds reliably to various materials including plastics, metals, and composite surfaces, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications.
Meeting MIL STD 2041D(SH) specifications for leachable halogens, 3M Polyethylene Tape 480 is specifically recommended for corrosion-sensitive applications in automotive, manufacturing, military, and transportation industries. Each case contains 24 rolls on plastic cores for convenient storage and dispensing. The 18-month shelf life ensures product reliability for inventory management, while the tape's superior abrasion resistance provides durability in demanding repair and splicing operations.
