Industrial-grade polyethylene tape with exceptional flexibility, superior chemical resistance, and clean removal. Ideal for sealing, coding, and moisture proofing in demanding applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is an industrial-grade conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general-purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. Constructed with an extremely flexible polyethylene backing, this tape stretches easily and conforms tightly to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for complex sealing tasks. The tape is coated with a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, ensuring professional results in demanding industrial environments.
This high-performance tape features excellent chemical and environmental resistance properties. The polyethylene backing provides a low water vapor transmission rate and offers superior solvent and alkali resistance, making it suitable for corrosion-sensitive applications and nuclear power plant maintenance. The black version of this tape offers exceptional UV resistance and can be used in outdoor applications for up to 12 months. The tape maintains its adhesive properties and flexibility across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, ensuring reliable performance in diverse climatic conditions.
Available in a 12 roll case with each roll measuring 3 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness, 3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 meets stringent military and ASTM specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759. The vivid black color provides excellent visibility and professional appearance, while the smooth backing ensures clean application. This tape is specifically formulated for industrial and occupational use, delivering consistent performance in automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation applications.
