Premium non-stick PTFE film tape with rubber adhesive for mold release and composite bonding. Operates -40°F to 300°F, 3 inch width, 36 yard length, 12 rolls per case. Silicone-free formula for contamination-free 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 slick, non-stick surface that provides superior mold release properties for composite bonding applications. The extruded PTFE film construction lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, ensuring consistent performance and reliability across diverse manufacturing operations.
Designed specifically for applications where silicone contamination is a critical concern, this tape offers clean removal from a variety of surfaces without leaving residue. The rubber adhesive formulation is non-silicone based, making it ideal for precision industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and composite manufacturing. With an operating temperature range from 40°F to 300°F (4°C to 149°C), this tape maintains its performance across demanding thermal environments. Each case contains 12 rolls of 3-inch wide tape with 36 yards of coverage per roll, providing ample material for production runs and prototyping applications.
The tape's exceptional low coefficient of friction, combined with high strength and abrasion resistance, ensures reliability in reducing friction between moving surfaces, minimizing rattle, and reducing machinery noise. The 4.2 mil thickness provides optimal balance between durability and conformability to complex mold surfaces. With an 18-month shelf life and proven performance in demanding industrial environments, 3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 is the preferred choice for professional manufacturing operations requiring premium mold release solutions.
