Premium red polyethylene industrial tape with 5.0 mil thickness, rubber adhesive, and exceptional conformability for sealing, coding, and moisture protection across diverse industrial applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium industrial-grade conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing and protecting. Constructed with an extremely flexible polyethylene backing, this tape stretches easily and conforms perfectly to textured and irregular surfaces, providing excellent coverage and adhesion. The tape features a high-quality rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces while removing cleanly without residue, making it ideal for both temporary and semi-permanent applications.
This versatile tape offers exceptional performance across diverse industrial environments. The polyethylene backing provides superior water vapor transmission resistance and excellent solvent and alkali resistance, protecting against harsh chemical exposure. The tape maintains its flexibility and adhesive strength across a broad temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions. With an impressive 300% elongation at break, the tape can stretch and adapt to complex geometries without tearing or losing adhesion.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is available in vivid colors including red, providing excellent visibility for color coding, safety marking, and decorative applications. The smooth backing delivers a glossy appearance while maintaining excellent durability. Ideal for automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation applications, this tape meets rigorous industry standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759. The black version offers exceptional UV resistance for outdoor use up to 12 months.
