3M 5153 PTFE Glass Cloth Tape

5153

3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5153 is an industrial grade tape product used for covering rollers, drums, turnbars, and formers on process machinery to create low friction surfaces. The design and manufacturing of this product allows for high temperature resistance and high abrasion resistance. Featuring low moisture absorption, this product retains performance levels in humid environments.

  • Glass cloth reinforced backing provides greater tensile strength and resistance to tears and punctures than typical PTFE film backed tapes
  • Provides a non-stick, low friction surface on heat sealing and packaging equipment
  • Thicker backing helps extend the service life over thinner versions when subjected to abrasion and wear
Color: Light Brown
Backing/Carrier Material: Glass Cloth Impregnated w/ PTFE
Adhesive Type: Silicone
TotalThickness: 8 mil
