3M 7000050130 Ptfe Glass Cloth Tape 5453 Brown 3in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000050130 is a PTFE-impregnated glass cloth tape designed for high-temperature release and heat sealing applications. Sold as Tape 5453 in brown, it combines a woven glass cloth backing with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive and a full PTFE coating. At 8.3 mil total thickness, it is the thicker backing version of 3M Tape 5451, providing added durability where additional puncture and abrasion resistance are required. The tape delivers a slick, low-friction surface that resists most chemicals and absorbs minimal moisture, making it a dependable choice for industrial process equipment and heat seal machinery.

Tape 5453 is suited for use on heat sealing machines, conveying chutes, troughs, and ducts where a non-stick, high-temperature release surface is needed. Typical applications include lining the bar or platen beneath a hot-wire or impulse seal element, protecting the heating element and providing easy film release during plastic film sealing operations. It is also used to line conveying surfaces to reduce friction and keep production lines running smoothly. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and production equipment specialists in manufacturing, packaging, and industrial processing environments.

Key Features

• PTFE-impregnated glass cloth construction provides chemical resistance, low friction, and high tensile strength
• 8.3 mil total thickness offers greater puncture and abrasion resistance compared to thinner Tape 5451
• Silicone adhesive maintains bond at elevated temperatures common in heat sealing equipment
• Low moisture absorption supports consistent performance in process and industrial environments
• Non-stick PTFE surface enables long-lasting, easy release on heat sealing platens and conveying surfaces
• Available in a 3-inch wide by 36-yard roll for coverage on larger sealing bars and runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade liner for heat sealing machines, impulse sealers, and conveying equipment requiring a high-temperature PTFE glass cloth release surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment operators. Always power down and de-energize heat sealing equipment before applying or replacing tape on sealing bars or platens. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before application to ensure full adhesive contact and prevent premature lifting. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as distortion can reduce surface coverage and adhesive performance.
