Industrial-grade PTFE non-stick film tape with rubber adhesive for mold release applications. Extruded film backing, silicone-free, operates -40°F to 350°F, 56 rolls per case.
3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is a premium non-stick tape engineered for industrial mold release applications where silicone contamination must be avoided. Featuring an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing combined with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive, this tape delivers an exceptionally low coefficient of friction that creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates. The tape is specifically designed for composite bonding applications and mold release, providing reliable performance across a wide temperature range from 40°F (4°C) to 350°F (177°C).
The rubber adhesive formulation is non-silicone based, ensuring clean removal from surfaces where silicone contamination is a critical concern. This industrial-grade tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, offering superior coverage and ease of application. With high strength and abrasion resistance, it effectively reduces friction, rattle, and machinery noise while maintaining consistent performance under varying pressures and environmental conditions. Each case contains 56 rolls, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing operations and composite production facilities.
This tape is available in a 1/2 inch width and 36-yard length per roll, with a total thickness of 4.2 mil, providing the perfect balance between flexibility and durability. The beige color helps with visibility during application, and the product is designed exclusively for industrial and occupational use by trained professionals in manufacturing environments. Whether used in aerospace composites, automotive manufacturing, or specialized industrial applications, 3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 delivers consistent, dependable performance for demanding mold release requirements.
