Product Identity

3M 483 Film Tape is a clear polyethylene sealing tape supplied in a 1 in x 36 yd roll. It uses a rubber adhesive on a 5.3 mil film backing and operates across a temperature range of -20 Degrees F to 170 Degrees F. The tape is designed for water-tight sealing tasks in shipping and mailing environments.

What the Spec Changes

The polyethylene film backing provides a transparent, water-tight seal that resists moisture ingress during transit. Rubber adhesive delivers immediate tack on corrugated and plastic surfaces without requiring heat activation. The 5.3 mil thickness balances conformability with tear resistance for reliable closure on variable package shapes.

Fit and Alternatives

This roll suits operations needing a clear, wide-temperature sealing tape for standard cartons and poly mailers. Buyers who need a different width, length, or adhesive formulation should look at other options. Applications requiring printed branding, tamper-evident features, or a non-rubber adhesive system are not addressed by this product.

Questions about this item

Will the rubber adhesive on the 3M 483 tape need replacement if used in cold storage?

The tape operates down to -20 Degrees F, so the adhesive remains functional in standard cold storage without immediate replacement.

What temperature limit will the polyethylene backing hit first during continuous sealing?

The maximum performance temperature is 170 Degrees F; sustained heat above this will degrade the backing before the adhesive fails.

Does the 5.3 mil film generate noticeable heat or noise when applied all day?

As a passive film tape it produces no noise or heat during application; only the dispenser mechanism creates sound.
