• Premium 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

3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5453 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This tape provides a slick surface on process machinery and 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.

For high strength applications requiring increased durability, look no further than our premium 3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5453 (PDF, 312.90 Kb). 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 a longer-lasting, 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
