Product Data Sheet

3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive rubber adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in mold release applications where a non-silicone tape is required.

Product Features

• Withstands autoclave cycles for several hours at temperatures up to 350°F (177°C) and 400°F (204°C) exposure for shorter periods.
• Extruded PTFE film tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes.

Recommended Application

• • Mold release tape for composite bonding
  • Masking of critical parts where silicone contamination is a concern
