3M 7100005655 Traction Tape 5401 Tan 2in X 36yd 9.3 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100005655 is a glass cloth traction tape with a silicone backing and silicone adhesive, sold as Traction Tape 5401 in a tan finish. This roll measures 2 inches wide by 36 yards long at a 9.3 mil thickness. The silicone construction gives this tape a dual-purpose profile: it functions as a premium release surface while also delivering a high coefficient of friction for reliable traction. It is suited for trade and industrial applications where slip resistance, surface protection, or controlled grip is required on equipment, fixtures, or flooring transitions.

Traction Tape 5401 is used in industrial and commercial settings where a durable, slip-resistant surface treatment is needed. Typical applications include stair nosings, ramps, walkways, and equipment surfaces subject to foot traffic or movement. The glass cloth base provides dimensional stability, making this tape a reliable choice for maintenance technicians, facilities crews, and contractors applying traction solutions to metal, composite, or hard-surface substrates.

Key Features

• Glass cloth construction with silicone backing for dimensional stability and durability
• Silicone adhesive bonds to a range of hard, clean surfaces
• High coefficient of friction provides effective slip resistance
• Functions simultaneously as a premium release surface and a traction surface
• 9.3 mil total thickness for a low-profile, conformable installation
• Tan color finish for low-visibility or color-matched applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose traction tape suitable for application to metal, composite, and hard-surface substrates in industrial and commercial environments where slip resistance or controlled-grip surfacing is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying pressure-sensitive tape — clean and dry the substrate thoroughly and remove any oils, dust, or loose coatings. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape width after placement to ensure full adhesive contact. Silicone-based tapes may have limited compatibility with certain coatings or adhesion promoters; verify substrate compatibility before permanent installation. Consult applicable facility safety or building codes when installing traction surfaces on stairways or ramps.
