Premium PTFE film tape with non-stick surface and rubber adhesive for mold release and composite bonding applications. Silicone-free formula suitable for high-temperature industrial use.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is a high-performance industrial adhesive tape featuring an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing with exceptional non-stick properties. This beige-colored tape measures 5 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 4.2 mil and is supplied in cases of 8 rolls. The tape combines an extremely low coefficient of friction with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive to create a smooth, non-stick surface ideal for mold release applications where silicone contamination must be avoided. The extruded PTFE film lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, ensuring better surface contact and performance. With a backing thickness of 2.2 mil and tensile strength of 19 lb/in, this tape delivers high strength and abrasion resistance for reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
The rubber adhesive formulation is specifically designed as a non-silicone solution, making it perfect for applications where silicone contamination is a critical concern. The tape operates effectively across a wide temperature range from 40°F (4°C) to 300°F (149°C), making it suitable for both room temperature and elevated temperature manufacturing operations. 3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 excels at reducing friction between moving surfaces, preventing stick of composite resins to mold surfaces, and minimizing machinery noise and vibration. The tape's exceptional performance characteristics make it an ideal solution for composite bonding, mold release applications, and masking of critical parts in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and general industrial manufacturing.
Each case contains 8 rolls of tape with an 18-month shelf life, ensuring consistent quality and performance throughout the product lifecycle. The tape is available in various lengths and widths to meet specific project requirements. For industrial and occupational use only, this product is engineered to meet the demanding standards of professional manufacturing environments where precision, reliability, and performance are paramount.
