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.
For nuclear power plant construction and maintenance applications use 3M™ Polyethylene Tape 483. Our high performance and versatile tape has a wide operational temperature range that remains flexible down to -29°C. It stretches and conforms to irregular surfaces and is both acid and alkali resistant. Its polyethylene backing provides good solvent resistance.
