3M 5498 PTFE Extruded Film Tape

Our 3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive rubber adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in mold release applications where a non-silicone tape is required.

Reduce Friction Between Moving Surfaces

We developed this tape as a quick and easy release medium between surfaces where pressure, temperature changes and other factors may create a measure of adhesion, particularly in composite bonding applications. Applying 3M Tape can help reduce stick of composite resins to mold surfaces, even under a wide range of temperatures (from 40°F/4°C to 350°F/177°C) and pressures. The rubber adhesive is a non-silicone formulation designed to remove cleanly from surfaces where silicone is not permitted.

Features:

• Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
• Rubber adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces where silicone is not permitted
• Resists high temperatures in manufacturing operations
• Extruded 3M PTFE Film Tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes
• High strength and abrasion resistance ensures reliability and performance to reduce friction, rattle and machinery noise
