Industrial PTFE Tape 5490

3M 5490 PTFE Film Tape is a brown, one-inch-wide roll that stretches 36 yards on a three-inch core. The extruded PTFE backing creates an exceptionally slick, non-stick surface that resists curling and lies flat for consistent coverage. A pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive bonds securely yet removes cleanly from many substrates. This tape suits maintenance engineers, packaging lines and anyone needing a low-friction, easy-release layer.

Upgrade from skived PTFE or standard masking tapes

The extruded film on 5490 lies flatter than skived PTFE tapes, giving a more uniform non-skid surface and reducing the risk of wrinkles during application. Its wide temperature range, from -65 °F to 500 °F, means it replaces tapes that fail in extreme cold or heat. The jump is worth it when you need reliable anti-stick performance, noise reduction or a temporary chemical barrier across that full thermal window.

Check surface compatibility and temperature needs

Verify that the substrate tolerates silicone adhesive and that the operating environment stays within the stated -65 °F to 500 °F limits. Ensure the one-inch width and 36-yard length match the intended coverage area. Confirm the three-inch core fits your dispenser or application equipment before ordering.

Questions about this item

What width and length does the 5490 PTFE tape come on the 3-inch core?

The roll measures 1 inch wide by 36 yards long on a 3-inch diameter core.

How should the silicone-adhesive PTFE film be applied to avoid bubbles and ensure full contact?

Clean the substrate thoroughly, then press the tape down firmly with a roller or squeegee working from the centre outward.

When should the brown PTFE film tape be replaced in a high-temperature lay-flat application?

Replace it once the surface shows wear, the non-stick property drops, or after prolonged exposure near the 500°F upper limit.
