3M 7000048642 Ptfe Film Tape 5498 Beige 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048642 is a beige extruded PTFE film tape sold as part of the 3M 5498 series, measuring 2 inches wide by 36 yards long at a 4.0 mil thickness. It features a non-silicone rubber adhesive backing that bonds to a range of surfaces without introducing silicone contamination into the work environment. Once applied, the PTFE film surface delivers an exceptionally low-friction, slick finish. The tape is engineered to resist curling during unwind, making it manageable in field and shop applications alike. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial maintenance install this tape where chemical resistance and non-silicone properties are required for sealing and masking tasks.

This tape is suited for applications where silicone contamination is a concern, such as masking surfaces prior to coating, sealing in chemically aggressive environments, and lining guides, chutes, or wear surfaces to reduce friction. Its chemical-resistant PTFE film surface holds up against many solvents, acids, and process fluids encountered in industrial and mechanical trade settings. Typical install scenarios include wrapping pipe fittings, lining slide surfaces, and masking components during spray or dip coating operations.

Key Features

• 4.0 mil extruded PTFE film construction for durability and chemical resistance
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive — safe for environments where silicone contamination must be avoided
• Exceptionally slick PTFE surface reduces friction on guides, slides, and wear surfaces
• Resists curling during unwind for easier handling and application
• Beige color aids visual identification on job sites
• 2 inches wide by 36 yards per roll for extended coverage on larger masking and sealing tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose PTFE film tape suitable for sealing, masking, and friction-reduction applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial trade environments where non-silicone adhesive is required.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the substrate thoroughly before applying the tape to ensure proper adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure along the length of the tape to seat the adhesive fully against the surface. When used for masking prior to coating operations, remove the tape promptly after the process is complete to prevent adhesive transfer. Handle the roll at the edges to avoid contaminating the adhesive surface before application.
