Flexible polyethylene industrial tape with rubber adhesive for sealing, coding, and protecting. Conforms to irregular surfaces, resists moisture and chemicals, operates from -20°F to 170°F. 3 inch x 36 yard rolls, 12 per case.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is an extremely flexible and conformable industrial-grade adhesive tape designed for a wide variety of general purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing and protecting. This tape features a polyethylene backing that stretches easily and conforms to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for applications where standard rigid tapes cannot provide adequate coverage. The rubber adhesive bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, making it perfect for temporary and permanent applications alike.
The tape is constructed with a polyethylene film backing that offers excellent solvent and alkali resistance, along with a low water vapor transmission rate. It maintains flexibility and adhesion across a wide temperature range, from -20°F (-29°C) to 170°F (77°C), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The white color provides excellent visibility for color coding, safety marking, and decorative applications. With vivid colors and a smooth backing that provides an excellent glossy appearance, this tape is available in multiple color options to suit various industrial and commercial needs.
Each case contains 12 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 3 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness. The tape meets multiple industry standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The 18-month shelf life ensures long-term storage capability, and the tape's 300% elongation at break provides exceptional flexibility for wrapping irregular objects and conforming to complex surfaces.
