3M 7010333753 Ptfe Film Tape 5490 Gray 5in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010333753 is a PTFE extruded film tape — sold as 3M PTFE Film Tape 5490 — designed for sealing, masking, and low-friction surface applications in industrial and trade settings. The tape features a 3.7 mil gray PTFE extruded film backing with a silicone adhesive that bonds without curling during unwind. The PTFE surface is chemically resistant and exceptionally slick once applied, making it suitable for use where release properties, chemical exposure, or high-temperature resistance are required. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals commonly specify this tape for sealing and protective masking tasks.

This tape is suited for applications requiring a non-stick, chemically resistant surface layer. Common use cases include masking during chemical processing, sealing joints and fittings exposed to aggressive media, and providing a low-friction interface on sliding or moving components. The 5-inch width and 36-yard roll length make it practical for both wide-surface coverage and high-volume jobs. It performs in environments where standard film tapes would degrade from chemical contact or elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• 3.7 mil PTFE extruded film backing provides a durable, slick surface layer
• Silicone adhesive resists curling during unwind for clean, controlled application
• Chemically resistant surface suited for sealing and masking in aggressive environments
• Gray color aids visual identification on masked surfaces
• 5-inch width covers broad surface areas in fewer passes
• 36-yard roll length supports extended runs without mid-job splicing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style PTFE film tape for general industrial sealing, masking, and low-friction surface applications across trade and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean and dry the substrate before applying the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply with steady, even pressure across the full tape width to prevent air pockets or edge lift. When used for masking applications, remove the tape promptly after the process is complete to avoid adhesive transfer. No special tools are required, but a roller or squeegee improves bond consistency on flat surfaces.
