3M 7000048616 Ptfe Film Tape 5490 Gray 4in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048616 is a PTFE extruded film tape in the 5490 series, designed for professional sealing, masking, and low-friction surface applications. The tape features a 3.7 mil gray PTFE extruded film carrier with a silicone adhesive backing. Once applied, it delivers an exceptionally slick, non-stick surface and resists curling during unwind — a key advantage when working through repeated applications on a job. The silicone adhesive provides strong adhesion across a wide temperature range, making this tape suitable for demanding industrial and trade environments where chemical resistance is required.

This tape is used in applications where a chemically resistant, low-friction surface is needed. Typical uses include sealing, masking during high-temperature processes, slide surfaces, and anywhere a non-stick barrier is required. It is well suited for HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades where exposure to chemicals, heat, or moisture is expected. The 4-inch width and 36-yard length per roll make it practical for larger coverage areas without frequent re-loading.

Key Features

• 3.7 mil PTFE extruded film construction for a durable, low-friction surface
• Silicone adhesive backing for high-temperature and chemical-resistant bonding
• Resists curling during unwind for cleaner, faster application
• Gray color aids visibility during masking and inspection tasks
• Chemical resistant surface suitable for sealing and masking applications
• 4-inch width provides broad coverage per pass

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose PTFE film tape for sealing and masking applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trade environments where chemical resistance and low-friction surfaces are required.

Installation Notes

This tape is typically applied by hand or with a tape dispenser; no special tools are required. Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before applying for best adhesion. When used in high-temperature or chemical exposure environments, verify the surface temperature is within the rated range of the silicone adhesive before installation. Follow all applicable safety guidelines for the specific sealing or masking process being performed.
