3M 7000028861 Polyethylene Tape 483 Blue 1in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028861 is a blue polyethylene tape featuring a 5.3 mil polyethylene backing bonded with a rubber-based adhesive. Designed for industrial and electrical applications, this tape offers low sulfur and halogen content, making it suitable for sensitive electronic environments. The conformable backing allows the tape to follow irregular surfaces without lifting or tearing. It remains flexible at temperatures as low as -20 degrees F, making it reliable in cold storage and refrigeration environments. Licensed tradespeople and production technicians working with printed circuit boards, electroplating lines, or general industrial sealing will find this tape well-suited to their needs.

This tape is used across a range of professional applications including general container sealing, electroplating masking, and printed circuit board masking. Its low halogen and sulfur content makes it appropriate for silicone chip holding and other electronics-adjacent tasks. It also serves well in decorative applications, safety marking, and color coding on equipment and piping. The 1-inch width and 36-yard roll length make it practical for workbench use and field kitting alike.

Key Features

• 5.3 mil polyethylene backing with rubber adhesive for firm, conformable hold
• Low sulfur and halogen content — suitable for PCB masking and silicone chip holding
• Remains flexible down to -20 degrees F for cold-environment use
• Good solvent resistance for electroplating and chemical exposure applications
• Conformable construction follows irregular surfaces and contours
• Blue color supports visual safety marking and color coding workflows

Compatibility

Designed for use in general industrial sealing, electroplating masking, printed circuit board masking, silicone chip holding, decorative applications, and safety marking and color coding tasks.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before tape application to ensure proper adhesion. In electroplating or chemical environments, verify chemical compatibility before extended exposure. When used in electrical or PCB applications, follow applicable facility safety protocols and power down equipment before applying or removing tape near live circuits. Dispose of used tape per local regulations when low-halogen content is a requirement of the work environment.
