Industrial-grade PTFE film tape with non-stick properties, 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 with exceptional non-stick properties. This specialized tape combines a low coefficient of friction with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive formulation to create a smooth, non-stick surface ideal for mold release applications where silicone contamination is not permitted. The tape measures 80mm (3.15 inches) wide and comes in 36-yard rolls with a 4.2 mil thickness, packaged in convenient 12 roll cases for industrial operations.
Designed for high-performance applications in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and composite manufacturing, this PTFE film tape excels at reducing friction between moving surfaces and preventing adhesion in challenging manufacturing processes. The rubber adhesive provides clean removal from various substrates while maintaining excellent performance across a wide temperature range from 40°F to 300°F (4°C to 149°C). The extruded PTFE backing lies significantly flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, ensuring superior contact and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
This tape is engineered to reduce stick of composite resins to mold surfaces, minimize machinery noise and vibration, and improve energy efficiency in sliding applications. With its high strength, abrasion resistance, and non-reactive properties to numerous chemicals, 3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 delivers consistent, durable performance for critical masking applications and composite bonding operations where precision and reliability are essential requirements.
