Premium non-stick PTFE film tape with rubber adhesive for mold release and composite bonding. Features exceptional low-friction surface, silicone-free formulation, and temperature resistance from 40°F to 350°F. Industrial-grade with high strength and abrasion resistance.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is a premium non-stick adhesive tape designed for industrial mold release applications and composite bonding. This beige-colored tape features an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing that provides an exceptionally slick surface with extremely low coefficient of friction. The tape is engineered with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive formulation that enables clean removal from various surfaces where silicone contamination is not permitted. Available in a convenient 8 roll per case format, each roll measures 6 inches wide by 36 yards long with a total thickness of 4.2 mil, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing operations.
The tape excels in reducing friction between moving surfaces and is specifically developed as a quick and easy release medium between surfaces where pressure, temperature changes, and other factors may create adhesion, particularly in composite bonding applications. With a temperature operating range from 40°F (4°C) to 350°F (177°C), this PTFE tape maintains its performance across extreme conditions. The extruded PTFE film lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, ensuring better contact and more reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for industrial and occupational use only, this tape delivers high strength and abrasion resistance to ensure reliability and performance while reducing friction, rattle, and machinery noise. The non-silicone rubber adhesive makes it particularly valuable in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and specialty manufacturing applications where silicone-free solutions are mandatory. With an 18-month shelf life and backed by 3M's commitment to quality, this PTFE film tape is a dependable solution for precision manufacturing and composite processing.
