Premium polyethylene industrial tape with rubber adhesive, flexible conformable backing, excellent chemical and UV resistance, temperature range -20°F to 170°F, ideal for sealing, coding, and outdoor applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium industrial-grade conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing and protecting. This high-performance tape features an extremely flexible polyethylene backing that enables it to stretch and conform to textured and irregular surfaces with exceptional ease. The tape is coated with a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and typically removes cleanly without leaving residue, making it ideal for both temporary and permanent applications.
The polyethylene backing provides excellent chemical resistance with low water vapor transmission rate and superior solvent and alkali resistance properties. This resilient tape maintains its adhesive properties and flexibility across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The black version features exceptional UV resistance and can be used outdoors for up to 12 months. With a tensile strength of 10 lb/in and 300% elongation at break, this tape delivers reliable performance in demanding industrial environments including automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is available in multiple vivid colors with a smooth backing that provides excellent glossy appearance. The tape meets stringent industry standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759. With an 18-month shelf life and supplied in convenient rolls with 3-inch cores, this tape is the preferred choice for professionals who demand quality, reliability, and consistent performance in critical applications.
