3M™ 5480 PTFE Film Tape 1" x 36 Yds. 3.7 Mil Gray

Description

3M™ PTFE skived film tape 5480 uses a skived polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) conformable film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive creates a smooth non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of web materials in many types of roll-wrap applications.

An exceptionally slick surface the skived film backing on 3M™ PTFE skived film tape 5480 provides good conformability when unwound from the roll compared to typical extruded PTFE film tapes. We developed this tape as a quick and easy solution to reduce friction between moving surfaces. It functions as an anti-stick or easy-release medium between surfaces where pressure temperature changes and other factors may create a measure of adhesion.

Applying 3M™ PTFE skived film tape 5480 can help improve surface movement eliminate squeaks and rattles and reduce machine noise. PTFE is chemical resistant and can be used as a temporary chemical barrier. The tape has a wide temperature use range from -65°f / -54°c to 500°f / 260°c making it suitable for a variety of applications.

Applications

• Roll-wrap for web processing belts and plates where sticky materials and inks may occur
• High temperature wire bundling and harnessing
• Squeak and noise reduction
• Shielding and protecting against chemicals
• Mold release for composite bonding

Features

• Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
• Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces
• Wide temperature range for performance on heated machinery and equipment
• Skived 3M™ PTFE film tapes are more conformable than typical extruded PTFE film tapes
• Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications
