3M 5498 PTFE Film Tape

3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 is an industrial grade tape product used for masking and bundling composite machine parts. This a PTFE part that is characterized by its use of rubber adhesive as an alternative to PTFE tapes constructed with silicone adhesives for applications where there is a need to avoid silicone contamination.

Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
Resists high temperatures in manufacturing operations
Extruded 3M™ PTFE Film Tape lies flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes

Color: Light Brown

Backing/Carrier Material: PTFE Film - Extruded

Adhesive Type: Rubber

TotalThickness: 4.2 mil
