Flexible polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive for sealing, coding, and protecting. Conformable to irregular surfaces, resistant to solvents and moisture, operates -20°F to 170°F. Industrial-grade with clean removal.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a high-performance conformable tape designed for a wide variety of general-purpose industrial applications. Constructed with an extremely flexible polyethylene film backing, this tape stretches and conforms easily to textured and irregular surfaces, providing excellent sealing and protection. The tape features a rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, making it ideal for applications where clean removal is critical.
The polyethylene backing provides exceptional resistance to water vapor transmission, solvents, and alkalis, making this tape suitable for corrosion-sensitive applications and outdoor use. With a total thickness of 5.0 mil and a 3-inch core size, the tape maintains its flexibility and adhesion across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F. The white color variant offers vivid appearance with a smooth backing that provides excellent glossy finish. This tape is available in multiple colors for color coding, decorative marking, and safety applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 meets multiple industry specifications including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, ensuring reliability in demanding industrial environments. The tape has an 18-month shelf life and is engineered for professional industrial and occupational use. Common applications include general sealing of containers, separation of dissimilar metals, decorative and safety marking, nuclear power plant maintenance, and outdoor sealing and protection applications.
