Industrial-grade polyethylene tape with flexible backing, rubber adhesive, and superior conformability for sealing, coding, and protecting applications across diverse industries.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a versatile, high-performance industrial tape engineered for a wide variety of general-purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. This red polyethylene tape features an extremely flexible backing that enables it to stretch and conform perfectly to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for complex sealing tasks. The tape is constructed with a rubber adhesive that bonds exceptionally well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, ensuring easy repositioning when needed.
With a polyethylene backing that provides excellent low water vapor transmission rates and superior solvent and alkali resistance, this tape performs reliably in demanding industrial environments. The 2-inch by 36-yard roll format with 5.0 mil thickness delivers consistent performance across applications ranging from container sealing to decorative coding and safety marking. Available in vivid colors with a smooth backing that provides excellent glossy appearance, the 3M Polyethylene Tape 483 maintains flexibility and adhesion across a broad temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
This industrial-grade tape meets multiple specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, ensuring compliance with rigorous industrial standards. The black version offers exceptional UV resistance and can be used outdoors for up to 12 months. Each case contains 24 individually wrapped rolls for convenient storage and distribution, with an 18-month shelf life. Designed specifically for industrial and occupational use, this tape is ideal for automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation applications.
