Highly conformable polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive for sealing, coding, and protecting. Flexible backing stretches to fit irregular surfaces. Clean removal, excellent solvent resistance. Industrial-grade, 36 rolls per case.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a high-performance conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general purpose industrial applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing and protecting. Constructed with an extremely flexible polyethylene film backing, this tape stretches easily and conforms tightly to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for applications where standard rigid tapes fail. The tape is coated with a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue.
This industrial-grade tape features a polyethylene backing with a low water vapor transmission rate, providing excellent solvent and alkali resistance for demanding environments. The rubber adhesive ensures strong adhesion while maintaining clean removal from most substrates. Available in vivid colors including blue, the smooth backing provides an excellent glossy appearance suitable for color coding, safety marking, and decorative applications. The tape remains adhered and flexible across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, with the black version offering excellent UV resistance for outdoor use up to 12 months.
Each case contains 36 individually wrapped rolls for convenient storage and distribution. This conformable tape meets multiple industry specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, making it suitable for automotive, military, government, and specialty vehicle applications. The 18-month shelf life ensures long-term usability for maintenance and emergency repair applications.
