3M 7000001163 Polyethylene Tape 483 Yellow 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001163 is a yellow polyethylene tape featuring a 5.3 mil polyethylene backing bonded with a rubber-based adhesive. Built for industrial and trade applications, this tape offers low sulfur and halogen content, making it suitable for sensitive environments such as electroplating lines and printed circuit board masking. The conformable backing follows irregular surfaces well, and the tape remains flexible down to -20 degrees F, making it a dependable option across a wide temperature range. Installers and technicians across electrical, plumbing, and general trade disciplines keep this tape on hand for sealing, masking, and color-coding tasks.

This tape is used in a broad range of applications including general container sealing, electroplating masking, printed circuit board masking, silicone chip holding, decorative banding, safety marking, and color coding. Its solvent-resistant properties make it a practical choice in shop and field environments where exposure to chemicals is likely. The yellow color provides high visibility for safety marking and identification on equipment, conduit, piping, and other trade infrastructure.
