3M 5490 PTFE Extruded Film Tape

3M™ PTFE Extruded Film Tape 5490 is an industrial grade tape product that is used to create easy release surfaces for machine parts in areas vulnerable to the the build-up of sticky materials and inks. This product features a chemically resistant surface for sealing and masking, low surface friction, and flatter applications onto surfaces than skived PTFE tapes.

Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
Wide temperature range for performance on heated machinery and equipment
Extruded 3M™ PTFE Film Tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes

Color: Brown

Backing/Carrier Material: PTFE Film - Extruded

Adhesive Type: Silicone
