Technical Data
Product Description
October, 2016
3M™ PTFE Extruded Film Tape 5490 and 5491 offers an extremely low coefficient of
friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a
smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of web
materials in many types of roll-wrap lay flat applications.

Features
Extruded PTFE film tapes lie flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes, resists
curling during unwind and provide an exceptionally smooth surface when applied.
Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up.
Thicker backing helps extend the service life, compared to thinner versions, when
subjected to abrasion or wear.
Provides excellent chemical resistance except to organic solvents.
Note:
The
silicone adhesive will be attacked by commercial organic solvents and so are not
recommended for application requiring organic resistance.
Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces.

Application Ideas
Easy-release surface by wrapping rollers, plates, belts, etc. where build-up of
sticky materials and inks can occur, minimizing clean-up.
Chemical resistant surface for sealing and masking.
Low coefficient of friction surface on rollers, formers, etc. to facilitate web
movement.
High strength and abrasion resistance reduce friction between surfaces, minimizing
rattle and machinery noise.
Mold release for composite or metal bonding.
Wide temperature range for performance on or near heated machinery and
equipment.
CAUTION:
When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 600°F (316°C),
small quantities of hazardous vapors may be released. INHALATION OF THESE
VAPORS MAY BE HARMFUL OR MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION. Do not heat or expose PTFE film tape to temperatures above 600°F
(316°C).
Storage
Store under normal conditions of 60° to 80°F (16° to 27°C) and 40 to 60% relative
humidity in the original packaging material.
To obtain best performance, use this product within 24 months from date of
manufacture.
