3M 7000049043 Ptfe Film Tape 5498 Beige 5in X 36yd 4.1 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000049043 is a PTFE film tape in the 3M 5498 series, designed for industrial sealing, masking, and surface-protection applications where a non-silicone adhesive system is required. The tape features a 4.1 mil beige extruded PTFE film backing bonded with a rubber-based, non-silicone adhesive. The PTFE surface delivers an exceptionally low-friction, slick finish once applied, and the construction resists curling during unwind — a practical advantage during high-volume application work. This tape is suited for environments where silicone contamination is a process concern, making it a go-to choice for technicians in electronics, aerospace, food processing, and industrial maintenance trades.

This tape is used across a range of sealing and masking applications where chemical resistance is essential. Its PTFE film surface holds up against many common industrial chemicals, making it appropriate for use on processing equipment, machinery guides, and similar surfaces requiring low friction or chemical-resistant coverage. The 5-inch width and 36-yard roll length suit both wide-area masking tasks and repetitive sealing work. It is a practical option for facilities maintenance techs, industrial assembly workers, and trade professionals who need a reliable non-silicone tape solution in controlled or chemically active environments.

Key Features

• 4.1 mil extruded PTFE film backing provides a durable, low-friction surface
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive — suitable for silicone-sensitive processes and environments
• Resists curling during unwind for cleaner, faster application
• Chemical resistant surface supports sealing and masking in demanding environments
• Beige color for straightforward identification on the job
• 5-inch width accommodates wider coverage in a single pass

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sealing and masking tape for industrial, electronics, and facilities maintenance applications requiring a non-silicone PTFE film solution.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by qualified maintenance or trade personnel familiar with industrial tape products. Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before applying the tape for best adhesion. No special tools are required, but a tape applicator or roller can improve bond consistency on flat surfaces. Remove the tape carefully at the end of use to avoid surface damage, following the substrate manufacturer's guidance where applicable.
