3M 7010295458 Polyethylene Film Tape 483 Blue 1in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010295458 is a polyethylene film tape sold as Tape 483 in blue, measuring 1 inch wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 5.3 mil. It combines a conformable polyethylene backing with a rubber-based adhesive that maintains flexibility down to -20 degrees F. The tape features low sulfur and halogen content, making it suitable for sensitive electronic and plating applications. It offers good solvent resistance and remains pliable in cold environments. This tape is handled by electronics technicians, plating operators, and industrial maintenance professionals.

Tape 483 is used across a range of industrial and electronic applications including general container sealing, electroplating masking, printed circuit board masking, silicone chip holding, decorative marking, safety marking, and color coding. Its conformable backing allows it to wrap irregular surfaces without lifting, which is useful in both bench and line production environments. It is appropriate for light industrial facilities, electronics assembly shops, and plating operations where halogen and sulfur contamination must be minimized.

Key Features

• 5.3 mil polyethylene backing provides conformability over irregular surfaces
• Rubber adhesive with low sulfur and halogen content for use in sensitive electronic environments
• Remains flexible to -20 degrees F for cold-environment applications
• Good solvent resistance for electroplating and chemical masking use
• Suitable for safety marking, color coding, and decorative applications
• Single-roll unit, 1 inch wide by 36 yards long

Compatibility

Designed for use in electroplating masking, printed circuit board masking, silicone chip holding, container sealing, and general industrial marking applications where a conformable, low-halogen polyethylene film tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before application to ensure proper adhesion. Apply with firm pressure across the full width of the tape to seat the adhesive. When using for electroplating or PCB masking, verify that all edges are fully sealed to prevent solution migration. Remove tape promptly after the process is complete to minimize adhesive transfer.
