Premium non-stick PTFE film tape with rubber adhesive for industrial mold release and masking applications, featuring exceptional low friction performance and clean removal properties.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is a premium industrial-grade adhesive tape featuring extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing combined with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive. This specialized tape delivers an exceptionally low coefficient of friction and creates a smooth, non-stick surface ideal for mold release applications where non-silicone solutions are required. The tape operates reliably across a wide temperature range from 40°F (4°C) to 350°F (177°C), making it suitable for demanding manufacturing environments.
Designed specifically for composite bonding and critical masking applications, this tape provides exceptional performance in reducing friction between moving surfaces while preventing adhesion of composite resins to mold surfaces. The extruded PTFE film construction lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, ensuring superior contact and reliability. The rubber adhesive formulation is specifically engineered to remove cleanly from surfaces where silicone contamination would be problematic, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, electronics, and metalworking industries.
Each case contains 12 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 3 inches wide by 36 yards long and 4.2 mils thick. The tape offers high strength and abrasion resistance that reduces friction, rattle, and machinery noise while maintaining consistent performance across various industrial substrates. With an 18-month shelf life and proven reliability in high-stress manufacturing operations, this tape is the preferred choice for professionals requiring dependable mold release and masking solutions.
