Premium 3M PTFE film tape with non-stick rubber adhesive for mold release and composite bonding applications. Features exceptional low friction, clean removal, and temperature resistance from 40°F to 350°F. Industrial-grade 1 inch x 36 yard rolls in 36-roll case.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is a premium industrial-grade adhesive tape featuring an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing combined with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive. This high-performance tape delivers an exceptionally slick, non-stick surface that provides superior mold release capabilities in composite bonding applications. The tape is specifically engineered for use in manufacturing environments where non-silicone solutions are required, making it ideal for critical applications where silicone contamination poses a concern.
The rubber adhesive formulation ensures clean removal from a variety of surfaces while resisting high temperatures in demanding manufacturing operations. With a temperature range from 40°F (4°C) to 350°F (177°C), this tape maintains its performance across extreme thermal conditions. The extruded PTFE film backing lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, providing enhanced reliability and consistent performance. Its high strength and abrasion resistance effectively reduce friction, rattle, and machinery noise while maintaining structural integrity during extended use.
This product comes in a convenient 36-roll case format with each roll measuring 1 inch wide by 36 yards long and 4.2 mil thick. 3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 is designed exclusively for industrial and occupational use, offering a quick and easy release medium between surfaces under pressure, temperature changes, and other challenging manufacturing conditions. The tape's exceptional low coefficient of friction makes it an excellent choice for precision applications requiring reliable, repeatable results in composite manufacturing, mold release operations, and critical masking applications.
