Premium industrial PTFE film tape with non-stick surface, rubber adhesive, and high-temperature resistance for mold release and composite bonding applications
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 specialized tape delivers an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, creating a smooth, non-stick surface ideal for mold release applications in composite bonding and manufacturing operations. The tape measures 12 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 4.7 mil, offering exceptional performance across a wide temperature range from 40°F (4°C) to 350°F (177°C).
Designed specifically for applications where silicone contamination is a critical concern, the rubber adhesive formulation ensures clean removal from various surfaces without leaving residue. The extruded PTFE film lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, providing superior coverage and reliability. With high strength and abrasion resistance, this tape reduces friction, rattle, and machinery noise while maintaining consistent performance under pressure and temperature changes. The 4.2 mil backing thickness (2.2 mil carrier) combined with the pressure-sensitive adhesive creates a durable, long-lasting solution for demanding industrial applications.
This tape is engineered for professional industrial and occupational use only, suitable for mold release in composite manufacturing, masking of critical parts where silicone contamination cannot be tolerated, and various friction-reduction applications in machinery and equipment assembly. The beige color provides visibility during application while maintaining the non-stick properties essential for precision manufacturing environments.
