3M - 5490 Tape - PTFE Film - Polyethylene - Brown - 25mmx33m

Features

Our extruded film backing resists curling when unwound from the roll and lies flatter than skived PTFE film tapes, creating a more uniform non skid surface

Its thicker backing extends the useful life of the tape against abrasion and wear

We developed this high strength tape as a quick and easy solution to reduce friction between moving surfaces

It serves as an anti stick or easy release medium between surfaces where pressure, temperature changes and other factors may create a measure of adhesion

Applying 3M™ PTFE Film tape 5490 can help improve surface movement and eliminate squeaks and rattles and reduce machine noise

PTFE is chemical resistant and can be used as a temporary chemical barrier

The tape has a wide temperature use range, from 380 to 260 °C, making it suitable in a wide variety of applications

What is PTFE tape?

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic material used in a variety of industries and applications to reduce the coefficient of friction

PTFE is used as a non stick coating for frying pans and other cookware because of its non stick property as well as high heat resistance

Its non conductivity makes it an excellent insulating material for electrical applications

It is very non reactive to numerous chemicals, partly due to the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds; making it very effective in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive substances

PTFE reduces friction, wear and energy efficiency of machinery

Because of its low friction, PTFE is used in industrial applications where sliding action of parts is required, such as with bearings, gears, slide plates, etc

In these applications, it delivers significantly better performance than nylon and acetal

3M has taken this versatile compound through an extrusion process to create a thin film, then paired the film with adhesive to make its PTFE tape

Innovative 3M PTFE tapes outperform competing tapes for reliability, endurance and ability to reduce friction

Extruded, calendered film tapes that resist curling during unwind for easy application

Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally smooth surface when applied

Extruded 3M™ PTFE Extruded Film tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes

Thicker backing helps extend the service life over thinner versions, when subjected to abrasion or wear

3M™ PTFE Film tape 5490 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing, which has an extremely low coefficient of friction, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive to create non-stick surfaces over a variety of substrates
