The 3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 represents a pinnacle of engineering innovation, leveraging the unique properties of extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to serve a broad spectrum of industrial needs. Primarily designed to facilitate mold release in composite bonding applications where silicone-based tapes cannot be used, this tape stands out for its extremely low coefficient of friction. Combined with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive, it ensures a smooth, non-stick surface across various substrates, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and product quality.
- Exceptional Non-Stick Performance: The tape's extruded PTFE film backing is optimized to reduce surface adhesion, offering an easy release from composite resins and other sticky materials, even under fluctuating pressures and temperatures ranging from 40°F/4°C to 350°F/177°C.
- Non-Silicone Rubber Adhesive: Specifically formulated to provide clean removal from surfaces where silicone contamination is a concern, making it ideal for critical applications in industries sensitive to silicone.
- Versatile Application Range: Ideal for use as mold release tape in composite bonding processes, it can also serve in masking applications for critical parts requiring silicone-free solutions.
- Reduced Friction Coefficient: PTFE's renowned non-stick properties are harnessed to minimize friction, facilitating smoother operation and maintenance of equipment.
- High Heat Resistance: Withstands a wide temperature range, making it suitable for applications subjected to high temperatures.
Usage and Maintenance: For optimal results, apply the 3M™ PTFE Film Tape 5498 to clean, dry surfaces. The tape is designed for easy application and removal, minimizing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. Regularly inspect the tape for wear and replace as necessary to maintain performance. Avoid exposure to conditions exceeding the tape's recommended temperature and pressure limits to ensure longevity and effectiveness.
