3M 5451 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).
This tape provides a slick surface on process machinery and offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a non-stick surface that performs at elevated temperatures.
For high-strength applications requiring increased durability, look no further than our premium 3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 (PDF, 312.90 Kb). Resistant to most chemicals, this reinforced PTFE tape provides a quick and durable solution to help reduce build-up on the packaging and heat-sealing machines.
It functions as a longer-lasting, anti-stick or easy-release medium between surfaces where pressure, temperature changes, and other factors may create a measure of adhesion.
PTFE is chemical resistant and can be used as a temporary chemical barrier.
The tape has a wide temperature use range, from -100°F/-73°C to 500°F/260°C, making it suitable for a variety of high-temperature applications.
