We developed 3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 as a high performance and versatile tape with a wide operational temperature range that remains flexible down to -20 degrees F. We manufacture this tape in a variety of colors using a polyethylene backing with a strong rubber adhesive.

3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483 stretches easily and is highly conformable for a tight seal over and around irregular surfaces. The smooth backing provides good solvent and alkali resistance. We manufacture this tape to fulfill a range of general purposes including sealing containers and irregular shaped objects, electroplating, color coding and moisture proofing. It meets MIL-STD-2041D for nuclear and corrosion sensitive applications.

This resilient tape can be used in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 170°F.
