3M 7000048995 Ptfe Film Tape 5498 Beige 6x36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048995 is a PTFE film tape rated at 4.0 mil thickness, supplied in a 6-inch-wide by 36-yard roll. The beige extruded PTFE film is bonded with a non-silicone rubber adhesive, making it a direct fit for applications where silicone contamination is a concern. The tape delivers a low-friction, slick surface on contact and resists curling during unwind, which improves handling speed on the job. It is used for sealing, masking, and lining tasks in chemical-resistant environments. HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance professionals, and plumbers reach for this tape when they need reliable, non-silicone PTFE performance.

This tape is suited for use in environments where silicone-based products cannot be tolerated, including certain aerospace, automotive, electronics, and food-processing-adjacent applications. The chemical-resistant PTFE surface handles exposure to many solvents and corrosive media. It works well as a masking tape in high-temperature processes and as a liner or wrap on components subject to sliding contact, friction reduction, or fluid sealing needs. The 6-inch width covers larger surface areas in a single pass, reducing overlap and application time.

Key Features

• 4.0 mil extruded PTFE film construction for consistent thickness and strength
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive — safe for silicone-sensitive processes and environments
• Exceptionally low-friction surface reduces wear on contact surfaces
• Resists curling during unwind for easier, faster application
• Chemical-resistant face suitable for sealing and masking in harsh environments
• 6-inch width minimizes overlapping passes on wide surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for sealing, masking, and friction-reduction applications requiring a non-silicone PTFE film tape in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the substrate surface before applying the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Power down or de-energize any equipment before applying tape to electrical or mechanical components. Use a roller or firm hand pressure to eliminate air pockets and ensure adhesion across the full tape width. Follow applicable industry codes and the equipment manufacturer's guidelines when using tape as a seal or mask in pressurized or chemical-exposure applications.
