Industrial-grade yellow polyethylene tape with rubber adhesive, 2 inch width, 36 yard length, 5.0 mil thickness. Flexible, conformable backing resists solvents and alkali. Temperature range -20°F to 170°F. 24 rolls per case. Ideal for sealing, coding, and protection applications.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium industrial-grade adhesive tape designed for general-purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. Featuring an extremely flexible polyethylene backing, this tape stretches and conforms to textured and irregular surfaces with exceptional ease. The rubber adhesive bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue, making it ideal for both temporary and semi-permanent applications. This versatile tape is available in vivid colors including yellow and operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, ensuring consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions.
The polyethylene backing provides excellent low water vapor transmission rate and superior solvent and alkali resistance, making it suitable for corrosion-sensitive applications and nuclear power plant maintenance. With 300% elongation at break and 10 lb/in tensile strength, this tape delivers exceptional flexibility and holding power. The tape features a smooth backing that provides a glossy appearance while maintaining conformability. Each roll measures 2 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 5.0 mil thickness, and comes in convenient 24-roll cases for industrial and occupational use.
Meeting rigorous industry standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, this high-performance tape is trusted across automotive, general industrial, MRO, military and government, specialty vehicles, and transportation sectors. The 18-month shelf life ensures long-term storage capability, while the 3-inch core size on each roll provides optimal dispensing. Whether used for color coding tools and equipment, separation of dissimilar metals, decorative and safety marking, or outdoor applications, 3M Polyethylene Tape 483 delivers reliable, professional-grade performance.
