High-performance polyethylene tape with conformable backing for sealing, coding, and protection. Features rubber adhesive, excellent temperature range -20°F to 170°F, and clean removal. 72 rolls per case, blue color, 1/2 inch x 36 yards, 5.0 mil thickness.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium-grade conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general-purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. This versatile tape features an extremely flexible polyethylene backing that enables it to stretch and conform perfectly to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for complex applications where standard tapes fall short. The tape is coated with a high-quality rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, ensuring professional results every time.
The polyethylene backing provides excellent low water vapor transmission rates and delivers superior solvent and alkali resistance, making this tape suitable for demanding industrial environments. Available in vivid blue color with a smooth backing that provides an excellent glossy appearance, this tape maintains its adhesive properties and flexibility across an impressive temperature range from -20°F (-29°C) to 170°F (77°C). With 300% elongation at break and 10 lb/in tensile strength, this high-performance tape delivers reliable performance in automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation applications.
This case contains 72 individual rolls, each measuring 1/2 inch wide by 36 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness, providing excellent value for high-volume users. The tape meets or exceeds MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards. With an 18-month shelf life and 3-inch core size, this tape is perfect for color coding tools and equipment, decorative marking, safety applications, and corrosion-sensitive environments.
