3M 7000001208 Ptfe Film Tape 5490 Gray 14in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001208 is a PTFE extruded film tape designed for sealing, masking, and low-friction surface applications in industrial and mechanical service environments. Sold as Tape 5490, this gray roll measures 14 inches wide by 36 yards long and is constructed from a 3.7 mil PTFE extruded film with a silicone adhesive backing. The PTFE film layer delivers an exceptionally slick, low-friction surface on contact, while the silicone adhesive maintains bond integrity across a wide temperature range. Chemical resistance makes it well suited for environments where exposure to solvents, oils, or process chemicals is common. HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance professionals, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

Tape 5490 is used in applications requiring a non-stick, chemically resistant surface or protective masking layer. Common uses include lining chutes, wrapping components to reduce friction, masking surfaces during spray or chemical processes, and sealing in environments where standard film tapes would degrade. The tape resists curling during unwind, which improves handling speed during installation. It is suitable for both light industrial and heavy mechanical service settings where PTFE film performance is required.

Key Features

• 3.7 mil PTFE extruded film construction for a slick, low-friction surface
• Silicone adhesive backing provides high-temperature bond stability
• Resists curling during unwind for easier handling and application
• Chemical resistant surface suitable for sealing and masking tasks
• 14-inch width supports wide coverage in a single pass

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose PTFE film tape suitable for sealing, masking, and low-friction surface applications in industrial and mechanical environments where chemical resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or mechanical contractors. Clean and dry the target surface thoroughly before applying the tape to ensure proper adhesion. Avoid stretching the film during application to prevent dimensional distortion. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures when applying tape to powered or pressurized equipment.
