Industrial-grade polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive for sealing, holding, and protecting applications. Features flexible backing, excellent solvent resistance, and temperature range of -20°F to 170°F. Case of 24 rolls, 2 inch width, 36 yard length, 5.0 mil thickness.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is an extremely flexible and conformable general-purpose tape designed for a wide variety of industrial applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. Constructed with a polyethylene film backing that stretches and conforms easily to textured and irregular surfaces, this tape features a rubber adhesive that bonds well and removes cleanly from most surfaces. The tape's polyethylene backing provides excellent low water vapor transmission rate and delivers superior solvent and alkali resistance, making it ideal for corrosion-sensitive applications and outdoor use.
This premium quality tape is available in vivid colors with a smooth backing that provides an excellent glossy appearance. It maintains flexibility and adhesion across a wide temperature range from -20°F (-29°C) to 170°F (77°C), with the black version offering exceptional UV resistance for outdoor applications lasting up to 12 months. The tape is commonly used in nuclear power plant maintenance, metal separation, decorative and safety marking, color coding of tools and equipment, and various general industrial sealing applications.
Each case contains 24 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 2 inches in width, 36 yards in length, and 5.0 mil thickness. The product meets multiple industry standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, ensuring reliability and performance in demanding industrial environments. For industrial and occupational use only, this tape is not intended for consumer applications.
