3M 7010373254 Polyethylene Film Tape 480 Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7010373254 is a transparent polyethylene film tape engineered for demanding splicing, patching, and sealing applications on polyethylene webs and sheets. The tape features a 5.1 mil polyethylene backing paired with an acrylic adhesive system that delivers reliable bonding on compound and irregular surfaces. The backing is conformable, allowing it to follow contours and surface irregularities without lifting. Good chemical and solvent resistance makes it suitable for use in environments where exposure to industrial fluids is a concern. Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 36 yards long and weighs approximately 0.85 pounds. Installers and maintenance technicians working with poly sheeting, vapor barriers, or plastic film assemblies will find this tape appropriate for both field repair and production splicing tasks.

This tape is commonly used in construction, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance settings where polyethylene sheeting or film must be joined, patched, or sealed. Typical applications include splicing polyethylene vapor barrier sheets during crawl space encapsulation or below-slab installation, patching damaged poly sheeting on job sites, and sealing seams on plastic film used in containment or moisture control assemblies. The acrylic adhesive maintains adhesion on surfaces that standard tapes may not grip reliably, and the abrasion-resistant backing holds up during handling and installation.

Key Features

• 5.1 mil polyethylene film backing with abrasion resistance
• Acrylic adhesive with good chemical and solvent resistance
• Conformable construction adheres to compound and irregular surfaces
• Transparent film allows visual inspection of the substrate beneath the tape
• Sized for field and production use at 3 inches x 36 yards per roll

Compatibility

Designed for splicing and patching polyethylene webs and sheets, and for sealing on compound surfaces where a conformable, chemical-resistant tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for maximum adhesion — clean the substrate free of dust, moisture, and loose particles before application. Apply firm pressure across the full tape width to ensure full contact between the acrylic adhesive and the substrate. For vapor barrier or containment applications, follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for overlap and seam requirements. Cutting tools with clean, straight blades will produce the cleanest tape edges.
