Premium industrial polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive, extreme flexibility, excellent conformability to irregular surfaces, chemical and solvent resistance, ideal for sealing, coding, and protective applications in demanding environments.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium industrial-grade adhesive tape engineered for demanding applications requiring flexibility, durability, and reliable performance. Constructed with an extremely conformable polyethylene backing, this tape stretches easily and adheres securely to irregular and textured surfaces. The rubber adhesive formulation bonds exceptionally well to most substrates and removes cleanly without residue, making it ideal for temporary and permanent applications across multiple industries.
This versatile tape features a low water vapor transmission rate and provides excellent solvent and alkali resistance, making it suitable for chemically sensitive environments and corrosion-prone applications. Available in vivid blue color with a smooth backing that delivers an excellent glossy appearance, the tape operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F (-29°C to 77°C). With 300% elongation at break and 10 lb/in tensile strength, 3M Polyethylene Tape 483 delivers superior flexibility and holding power for demanding industrial tasks.
Designed for industrial and occupational use, this tape excels in general sealing of containers and irregular-shaped objects, color coding and safety marking, separation of dissimilar metals, and protective applications. The 18-month shelf life and compliance with MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications ensure consistent quality and performance. Each roll features a 3-inch (76mm) core and 5 mil total thickness without liner, providing substantial coverage for production environments.
