3M5490 PTFE Slick Surface Teflon Film Tape

3M 5490 PTFE Film Tape features a high-performance extruded PTFE backing combined with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive, making it ideal for demanding lay-flat applications. Known for its extremely low coefficient of friction, this tape provides a smooth, non-stick surface that enhances the movement of materials across various substrates.

Engineered for reliability, 3M 5490 PTFE film tape resists heat, chemicals, and abrasion, making it perfect for use in packaging, sealing, sliding surfaces, and machinery wrap applications. Its clean removal and consistent performance help reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency in industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Non-stick PTFE film offers an ultra-smooth surface for quick and easy cleanup

• Silicone adhesive allows for clean, residue-free removal from a wide range of surfaces

• Performs reliably across a broad temperature range, ideal for heated machinery and equipment

• Extruded PTFE film lays flatter than traditional skived films, ensuring a more uniform application

• Outstanding chemical resistance makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments

• Durable and abrasion-resistant, helping reduce friction, vibration, and operational noise in machinery

Applications

3M 5490 PTFE Film Tape is designed for a wide range of industrial applications, including roll-wrapping in web processing equipment, belts, and plates to prevent buildup of inks and adhesives, as well as high-temperature wire bundling and harnessing in electrical systems. It effectively reduces squeaks and noise in moving parts, serves as a low-friction lining for chutes, troughs, and ducts, provides durable protection against chemicals in harsh environments, and acts as a reliable mold release surface for composite bonding and curing processes.

What is PTFE?

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance synthetic material widely used across various industries for its exceptional non-stick properties and low coefficient of friction. Best known as the coating in non-stick cookware, PTFE also offers excellent heat resistance, chemical inertness, and electrical insulation, making it ideal for both consumer and industrial applications.

PTFE is highly non-reactive, making it suitable for containers and piping systems that handle corrosive or reactive chemicals. In industrial settings, PTFE significantly reduces friction, wear, and improves the energy efficiency of moving parts, outperforming materials like nylon or acetal in sliding applications such as bearings, gears, and slide plates.

To enhance its versatility, 3M processes PTFE through extrusion to form a thin film, which is then combined with pressure-sensitive silicone adhesives to create 3M™ PTFE Film Tapes. These tapes are known for their durability, high temperature performance, and ability to minimize friction, making them a trusted solution for demanding industrial environments.
