Film Tape, Gray, 5 yd L, 3/4 in W

3Mâ„¢ PTFE Skived Film Tape 5481

The 3Mâ„¢ PTFE Skived Film Tape 5481 is an advanced tape solution offering a smooth, non-stick surface with excellent durability and chemical resistance, designed for various industrial applications. Its unique combination of PTFE film and silicone adhesive makes it ideal for high-performance tasks.

Key Properties

• Adhesion to Steel: 32 oz./in. width (35 N/100 mm)
• Tensile Strength: 59 lbs./in. width (1039 N/100 mm)
• Elongation at Break: 290%
• Backing Thickness: 5.0 mils (0.13 mm)
• Total Tape Thickness: 6.8 mils (0.17 mm)
• Temperature Range: -65 °F to 500 °F (-54 °C to 260 °C)

Features

• Constructed with skived PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for a conformable, low-friction surface.
• Silicone adhesive enables clean removal from a variety of surfaces.
• Exceptional resistance to chemicals, excluding organic solvents which may attack the silicone adhesive.
• Non-stick PTFE film creates a slick surface for easy clean-up, minimizing build-up of sticky materials.

Applications

• Provides an easy-release surface for wrapping rollers, plates, belts, and more to prevent build-up of inks or sticky materials.
• Acts as a mold release agent for composite or metal bonding applications.
• Effective in high-temperature wire bundling and harnessing due to its wide temperature range.
• Helps shield and protect surfaces from chemical exposure.
• Reduces friction, minimizing squeaks and noise between surfaces.
• Suitable for heated machinery and equipment, withstanding temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C).

Storage and Shelf Life

• Storage Conditions: 60 °F to 80 °F (16 °C to 27 °C) and 40% to 60% relative humidity.
• Shelf Life: Best used within 24 months from the date of manufacture for optimal performance.

Safety Precautions

When exposed to temperatures above 600 °F (316 °C), the tape may release hazardous vapors that could cause respiratory irritation. Avoid heating or exposing the tape to such high temperatures.
