3M 483 Blue Polyethylene Film Tape

This 3M 483 tape is a blue polyethylene film sealing product measuring 1 in x 36 yd with a 5.3 mil thickness. It uses a rubber adhesive to create a water-tight seal across a temperature range of -20 to 170 degrees F. The tape is designed for packaging and shipping tasks that require a moisture-resistant closure.

Suits shippers needing a water-tight seal in cold

The rubber adhesive and polyethylene backing work reliably from -20 to 170 degrees F, making it a fit for environments where standard tapes lose grip. Buyers who need a tape rated beyond 170 degrees F or below -20 degrees F should look at alternatives. It is not intended for applications that demand a different backing material or adhesive chemistry.

Rolls on by hand or with a standard dispenser

The 1 in width fits common tape guns and the 36 yd roll length supports continuous sealing without frequent reloads. The 5.3 mil film tears cleanly against a cutter edge, reducing jagged edges that can snag. Ensure surfaces are dry and free of dust before application; oil or moisture on the substrate can prevent the rubber adhesive from forming a full water-tight bond.

Questions about this item

What surface material do I need for the 5.3 mil polyethylene backing to adhere properly?

The rubber adhesive bonds to clean cardboard, plastic, metal and painted surfaces; remove dust and oil before applying the 1 in wide tape.

Can I leave the 3M 483 tape on packages that will sit in a -20 °F freezer?

Yes, the tape maintains its seal across the full -20 °F to 170 °F range, so freezer storage will not cause the blue film to release.

How do I confirm the 36 yd roll is sealing cartons water-tight after I apply it?

Press the tape firmly along the seam, then spray water on the joint; no leakage means the polyethylene film and rubber adhesive are performing as specified.
