Premium 3M polyethylene tape with flexible backing, rubber adhesive, and excellent conformability for sealing, coding, and protection. Temperature range -20°F to 170°F. 24 rolls per case.
3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 is a premium-grade conformable adhesive tape designed for a wide variety of general-purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing, and protecting. This industrial-strength tape features an extremely flexible polyethylene backing that stretches and conforms to textured and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for complex sealing tasks. The tape is coated with a high-quality rubber adhesive that bonds well to most surfaces and removes cleanly without leaving residue.
The polyethylene backing provides excellent low water vapor transmission rate and delivers superior solvent and alkali resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. With a thickness of 5.0 mil and available in vivid colors including yellow, this tape offers an excellent glossy appearance for color coding and safety marking applications. The tape remains adhered and flexible across a wide temperature range from -20°F to 170°F, ensuring reliable performance in both cold and warm conditions.
Each case contains 24 individually wrapped rolls, each measuring 2 inches wide by 36 yards long, providing convenient packaging for bulk purchasing and storage. This tape meets multiple industrial standards including MIL STD 2041D(SH), ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, making it suitable for automotive, military, government, and specialty vehicle applications. The 18-month shelf life ensures long-term usability, and the tape is classified as high-performance for industrial and occupational use only.
