3M PTFE film adhesive tape 5490 Brown 304.8 mm x 33 m 0.09 mm 7000048721

3M (TM) PTFE Adhesive Tape 5490 utilizes an extruded PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) backing. This tape has an extremely low coefficient of friction and, when combined with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface on various materials to support the movement of materials against each other in many flat-faced applications. Reduces friction between moving surfaces The extruded backing of 3M (TM) PTFE Adhesive Tape 5490 does not roll back up after unwinding from the roll and lays flatter than PTFE peel films, creating a more uniform, non-slip surface. This tape was developed as a quick and easy solution to reduce friction between moving surfaces. It serves as a non-stick or easily removable material between surfaces that stick together due to pressure, temperature changes or other factors. Using 3M (TM) PTFE Tape 5490 can improve surface mobility, eliminate squeaks and rattles and reduce machine noise. PTFE is chemical resistant and can be used as a temporary chemical barrier. The belt can be used in a wide temperature range from -54 °C to 260 °C and is suitable for various applications. Recommended applications: Wrapping of rollers for fabric processing as well as belts and plates where sticky material and paints can deposit, bundling of cables and harnesses exposed to high temperatures, reduction of squeaks and noise reduction, lining of chutes, ducts and pipelines, shielding against and protection from chemicals, release agent for bonding composite material What is PTFE? PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic material used in various industries and applications to reduce the coefficient of friction. Due to its non-stick properties and high heat resistance, PTFE is used as a non-stick coating in pans and other cookware. Thanks to its non-conductive properties, it is an excellent insulating material in electrical applications. PTFE is neutral to many chemicals due to the chemical resistance of the fluoropolymer compounds, making it suitable for use in containers and pipes for reactive and corrosive substances. PTFE reduces friction and wear and increases the energy efficiency of machines. Due to its low friction, PTFE is used in industrial applications where parts need to slide, such as plain bearings, gears, sliding plates, etc. Here it shows significantly better performance behavior than nylon or acetal. This versatile compound is produced by 3M in an extrusion process to obtain a thin membrane. This is then combined with the unique 3M (TM) pressure sensitive adhesives to produce the PTFE tapes. Innovative 3M PTFE tapes for heavy duty applications are reliable, durable and reduce friction.
