Flexible polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive for sealing, holding, and coding. Conforms to irregular surfaces, resists solvents and alkali, operates from -20°F to 200°F. 1 inch x 36 yard rolls, 36 per case.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a versatile general-purpose tape designed for a wide variety of industrial applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. This high-performance tape features an extremely flexible polyethylene backing that enables it to stretch and conform to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for applications where traditional rigid tapes fail. The tape is coated with a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, ensuring easy application and removal without damage to underlying surfaces.
The polyethylene backing provides excellent chemical resistance with low water vapor transmission rate and superior solvent and alkali resistance properties. This makes it suitable for corrosion-sensitive applications and nuclear power plant maintenance operations. The tape maintains its flexibility and adhesion across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 200°F, allowing for reliable performance in demanding environments. Available in vivid colors with a smooth backing that provides an excellent glossy appearance, the white version of this tape is perfect for color coding, safety marking, and decorative applications.
Each case contains 36 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 1 inch wide by 36 yards long and 5.0 mil thick. The tape meets multiple industry specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, ensuring compliance with stringent industrial standards. With an 18-month shelf life and a tensile strength of 10 lb/in, this tape delivers consistent, reliable performance for industrial, automotive, military, government, and transportation applications.
