Professional-grade polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive, flexible conformable backing, excellent solvent resistance, and clean removal. Ideal for sealing, coding, moisture-proofing, and outdoor applications with temperature range -20°F to 170°F.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a versatile, high-performance industrial adhesive tape designed for a wide variety of general-purpose applications. Constructed with an extremely conformable polyethylene backing, this tape stretches easily and conforms to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for sealing containers, moisture-proofing, protecting, and color coding. The tape features a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue. With a thickness of 5.0 mil and available in vivid colors including blue, this tape provides excellent glossy appearance and superior performance in demanding industrial environments.
The polyethylene backing offers exceptional durability with a low water vapor transmission rate and excellent solvent and alkali resistance, making it suitable for corrosion-sensitive applications. This tape maintains its flexibility and adhesion across an extended temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, ensuring reliable performance in both hot and cold environments. The black version demonstrates excellent UV resistance and can be used outdoors for up to 12 months, while all versions are constructed to meet military and ASTM specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759.
Each case contains 12 rolls of 36-yard length tape, providing excellent value for industrial, commercial, and maintenance operations. Recommended applications include general sealing of containers and irregular shaped objects, separation of dissimilar metals, decorative and safety marking, nuclear power plant maintenance, and outdoor applications. This tape is specifically designed for industrial and occupational use and is not intended for consumer sale or use.
