Premium non-stick PTFE film tape with silicone adhesive for industrial friction reduction and easy release applications. Wide temperature range -65°F to 500°F, excellent chemical resistance, 2 inch x 36 yard rolls.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5491 is a premium industrial adhesive tape featuring extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing with pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive. This advanced tape delivers an exceptionally slick, non-stick surface that provides superior performance in demanding industrial applications. The brown-colored tape measures 2 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 6.7 mil thickness, packaged in convenient 6-roll cases for industrial users. The extruded PTFE film backing resists curling when unwound and lies flatter than traditional skived PTFE film tapes, creating a more uniform non-skid surface ideal for lay-flat applications.
Designed specifically to reduce friction between moving surfaces, this tape functions as an effective anti-stick or easy-release medium where pressure, temperature changes, and other factors may create adhesion. The silicone adhesive enables clean removal from a variety of surfaces without leaving residue, making it perfect for temporary applications. With an impressive operating temperature range from -65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C), this tape maintains performance on heated machinery and equipment. The tape offers excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for use as a temporary chemical barrier in challenging industrial environments.
This product is specifically engineered for industrial and occupational use, meeting the needs of manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and general industrial applications. Common applications include roll-wrap for web processing, high-temperature wire bundling, squeak and noise reduction, lining of chutes and troughs, chemical shielding, and mold release for composite bonding. The combination of low friction coefficient, high strength, and abrasion resistance ensures reliability and long-term performance while reducing machinery noise and vibration.
