Formed from a light brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), 3M general purpose PTFE glass cloth tape 5153 provides a slick surface on process machinery. This tape 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.
Durability to Withstand Rugged Conditions
- For high strength applications requiring increased durability, look no further than 3M general purpose PTFE glass cloth tape 5153. Resistant to most chemicals, this reinforced PTFE tape provides a quick and durable solution to help reduce build-up on packaging and heat sealing machines. It functions as an 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°F/-73°C to 500°F/260°C, making it suitable for a variety of high temperature applications.
Recommended Applications
- Heat sealing machines
- Ironing and pressing equipment
- High temperature bundling
Features
- Glass cloth reinforced backing provides greater tensile strength and resistance to tears and punctures than typical PTFE film backed tapes
- Silicone adhesive offers high temperature performance and long aging
- Provides a non-stick, low friction surface on heat sealing and packaging equipment
- Thicker backing helps extend the service life over thinner versions when subjected to abrasion and wear
- Performs under a wide range of temperatures, including up to 500°F/260°C
- Very low moisture absorption allows the tape to perform in many humid environments
- Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications
