3M Scotch 5490 Brown PTFE Tape, 33m x 50mm x 0.09mm

Introducing the 3M™ 5490, this PTFE tape uses a Brown extruded Polytetrafluoroethylene offering with PTFE integrated and a silicone adhesive offering high-temperature performance. This tape provides a non-stick, low friction surface for a broad range of surfaces, including metals, plastics and wood. The 3M 5490 tape provides shear strength, surface adhesion and the thicker backing helps to extend the life when subjected to abrasion and wear. The excellent abrasion resistance makes it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.

Some of this PTFE’s key material characteristics are the fact that it’s both extremely low friction, and works with a wide temperature range making it a great choice for use on heated machinery or equipment.

• Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
• Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces
