3M 7000028973 Ptfe Glass Cloth Tape 5151 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028973 is a general purpose PTFE glass cloth tape designed for demanding industrial and process applications. The glass cloth substrate is fully impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and finished with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, producing a 3.5 mil tape with a slick, low-friction surface. At 2 inches wide and 36 yards per roll, it is sized for continuous-run coverage on heat sealing equipment, conveying chutes, troughs, and process ducts. PTFE impregnation gives the tape strong resistance to most chemicals and keeps moisture absorption low, extending service life in harsh environments.

This tape is used in light industrial and process maintenance settings where easy release, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance are required. Typical applications include lining heat sealing machine platens, surfacing conveyor chutes and ducts, and protecting process equipment from friction wear. Maintenance technicians, equipment installers, and process engineers in food processing, packaging, and general manufacturing regularly specify this tape for both new installations and field repairs.

Key Features

• PTFE-impregnated glass cloth provides a slick, low-friction release surface
• Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds to metal, plastic, and composite surfaces
• Resistant to most chemicals and exhibits low moisture absorption
• High tensile strength and puncture resistance from woven glass cloth substrate
• 3.5 mil total thickness suits moderate-wear surface protection tasks
• 2 inches x 36 yd roll size minimizes splices on extended runs

Compatibility

Designed as a general purpose surface lining and protective tape for heat sealing machines, conveying chutes, troughs, and process ducts across a wide range of industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Applied by qualified maintenance technicians or equipment installers. Power down and de-energize all equipment before applying tape to heat sealing platens or moving conveyor components. Clean and dry the target surface thoroughly before application to ensure full adhesive contact. Avoid stretching the tape during application to maintain uniform thickness and adhesive coverage.
