3M 7000028942 Polyethylene Tape 483 Blue 3in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028942 is a blue polyethylene tape featuring a 5.3 mil polyethylene backing bonded with a rubber-based adhesive. Designed for demanding masking, sealing, and marking applications, this tape maintains flexibility in cold environments down to -20 degrees F, making it suitable for temperature-variable work environments. The formulation carries low sulfur and halogen content, which is critical for electronics applications where contamination control matters. The conformable backing conforms to irregular surfaces, and the adhesive delivers good solvent resistance throughout the application lifecycle. Sold as a single roll measuring 3 inches wide by 36 yards long.

This tape is used across a range of industrial and trade applications. Common uses include general container sealing, electroplating process masking, printed circuit board masking, and silicone chip holding during manufacturing or rework. It also serves decorative purposes, safety marking, and color-coding tasks in facility maintenance and production environments. Its solvent-resistant properties make it appropriate for chemical-adjacent work where standard tapes would break down or leave residue.

Key Features

• 5.3 mil polyethylene backing provides durable, conformable protection
• Rubber adhesive with good solvent resistance for chemical-adjacent applications
• Remains flexible at temperatures as low as -20 degrees F
• Low sulfur and halogen content — suitable for electroplating and electronics masking
• Blue color supports visual safety marking and color-coding workflows
• Roll format: 3 inches wide x 36 yards long

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose polyethylene masking and sealing tape suitable for electroplating lines, P.C. board assembly, container sealing, and color-coding tasks across industrial and trade environments.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. In electroplating or electronics applications, ensure surfaces are free of oils and contaminants before taping. Remove tape promptly after masking operations to minimize adhesive transfer risk. No special tools are required for application or removal.
