3M 7000050132 Ptfe Glass Cloth Tape 5453 Brown 8.3 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000050132 is a brown PTFE glass cloth tape in the 3M 5453 series, designed for high-temperature heat sealing and release applications. The glass cloth backing is fully impregnated with PTFE and bonded with a silicone adhesive, resulting in an 8.3 mil total thickness. This construction delivers a slick, low-friction surface with high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and abrasion resistance. The tape resists most chemicals and absorbs minimal moisture. It is installed by maintenance technicians and equipment service professionals on heat sealing machines, process equipment, and conveying systems where a durable, heat-resistant release surface is required.

This tape is suited for both industrial and commercial applications. Common uses include lining the bar or jaw surfaces of heat sealing machines where hot wires or elements seal plastic film, as well as lining conveying chutes, troughs, and ducts to keep production moving without sticking or buildup. It functions as a thicker-backing alternative to the 3M 5451 tape where additional rigidity or durability is needed. Each roll measures 0.75 inches wide by 36 yards long.

Key Features

• PTFE-impregnated glass cloth backing provides a slick, non-stick release surface at elevated temperatures
• 8.3 mil total thickness offers added rigidity and durability compared to thinner PTFE glass cloth tapes
• Silicone adhesive bonds reliably to metal and equipment surfaces in high-heat environments
• Resistant to most chemicals with low moisture absorption for long service life
• High tensile strength and puncture resistance reduce downtime from tape failure
• Suitable for use on heat sealing machines, conveying chutes, troughs, and ducts

Compatibility

Designed for use on heat sealing machines and process equipment requiring a high-temperature PTFE release surface; serves as the thicker-backing replacement for 3M PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment service personnel. Power down and allow all heated components to cool completely before removing old tape or applying new tape to sealing bars or equipment surfaces. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of adhesive residue before application. Follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines and applicable workplace safety codes when working with high-temperature process equipment.
