3M™ 7000029154 Pressure Sensitive Cloth Tape, 36 yd L x 1 in W, 5.6 mil THK, Silicon Adhesive, Woven Glass Cloth Impregnated with PTFE Backing, Brown

Our premium performance 3M™ PTFE glass cloth tape 5451 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This tape provides a slick surface on process machinery and offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a non-stick surface that performs at elevated temperatures. For high strength applications requiring increased durability, look no further than our premium 3M™ PTFE glass cloth tape 5451. Resistant to most chemicals, this reinforced PTFE tape provides a quick and durable solution to help reduce buildup on packaging and heat sealing machines. It functions as a longer lasting, anti-stick or easy release medium between surfaces where pressure, temperature changes and other factors may create a measure of adhesion. PTFE is chemical resistant and can be used as a temporary chemical barrier. The tape has a wide temperature use range, from -100 deg F/-73 deg C to 500 deg F/260 deg C, making it suitable for a variety of high temperature applications. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic material used in a variety of industries and applications to reduce the coefficient of friction. Because of its non-stick properties and high heat resistance, PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for frying pans and other cookware. It makes an excellent insulating material for electrical applications because of its non-conductivity. PTFE is non-reactive to numerous chemicals, due to the chemical resistance of fluoropolymer bonds; making it effective in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive substances. PTFE reduces friction, wear and energy efficiency of machinery. Because of its low friction, PTFE is used in industrial applications where sliding action of parts is required, such as with bearings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications, it delivers significantly better performance than nylon or acetal. 3M™ has taken this versatile compound through an extrusion process to create a thin film, then paired the film with 3M™ unique pressure sensitive adhesives to make these PTFE tapes. Innovative, high performance 3M™ PTFE tapes are reliable, durable and reduce friction.
