Description:
Create smooth, non-stick surfaces over a variety of substrates with 3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5490. Our tape works with a wide temperature range to perform well on heated machinery and equipment. It 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 smooth, non-stick surfaces over a variety of substrates. Its thicker backing helps extend the service life over thinner versions when subjected to abrasion and wear, and has a high strength and abrasion resistance that ensures reliability and performance to reduce friction, rattle and machinery noise.
Advantage:
- Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
- Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces
- Wide temperature range for performance on heated machinery and equipment
- Extruded 3M™ PTFE Film Tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes
- Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications
- High strength and abrasion resistance ensures reliability and performance to reduce friction, rattle and machinery noise
- Available in a wide selection of widths for custom processes
Recommendation:
- Use for heated machinery and equipment
- High temperature wire bundling and harnessing
- Lining of chutes, toughs and ducts
- Shielding and protecting against chemicals
- Wrapping web rollers to reduce friction
- Noise reduction of parts where surfaces rub together
- Providing excellent mould release in composite bonding
