Premium performance 3M™ PTFE glass cloth tape 5453 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.

• Glass cloth reinforced backing provides greater tensile strength and resistance to tears and punctures than typical PTFE film backed tapes
• Silicone adhesive offers high temperature performance and long aging
• Provides a non-stick, low friction surface on heat sealing and packaging equipment
• Thicker backing helps extend the service life over thinner versions when subjected to abrasion and wear
• Performs under a wide range of temperatures
• Very low moisture absorption allows the tape to perform in humid environments
• Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications
• Tensile strength: 60,0 N/100 mm
• 24 month shelf life

Resistant to most chemicals, this reinforced PTFE tape provides a quick and durable solution to help reduce build-up on 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 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 −73 to +260 °C (−100 to +500 °F), making it suitable for a variety of high temperature applications.

Recommended applications include use on heat sealing machines, ironing and pressing equipment, high temperature bundling, and mould release in composite bonding. This tape also provides a good barrier for the separation of dissimilar parts.
