Formed from a light brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), 3M General Purpose PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5153 provides a slick surface on process machinery. This tape 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, including up to 500°F/260°C
- Very low moisture absorption allows the tape to perform in many humid environments

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ General Purpose PTFE Glass Cloth Tape?
It is a high-temperature tape with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive that is designed for use in demanding applications like aerospace, automotive, packaging and more.
-
What makes this tape special?
This glass cloth tape has been coated with Teflon to offer excellent release properties and can resist temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). This product also contains an aggressive silicone adhesive system, which provides superior bond strength at high temperatures.
-
How much of the 3M™ General Purpose PTFE Glass Cloth Tape will I get if I order it?
You will receive one roll of light brown colored, strong and durable 3/4 inch x 36 yards long - a total of over one thousand feet per case! Each case includes forty-eight rolls.
For high strength applications requiring increased durability, look no further than 3M™ General Purpose PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5153. This reinforced PTFE tape is resistant to most chemicals and provides a quick and durable solution to help reduce build-up on packaging and heat sealing machines. It functions as an 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.
Recommended Applications- Heat sealing machines
- Ironing and pressing equipment
- High temperature bundling
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic material used in a variety of industries and applications to reduce the coefficient of friction. PTFE is non-reactive to numerous chemicals, due to the chemical resistance of fluoropolymer bonds; making it effective in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive substances. PTFE reduces friction, wear and energy efficiency of machinery. Because of its low friction, PTFE is used in industrial applications where sliding action of parts is required, such as with bearings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications, it delivers significantly better performance than nylon or acetal. 3M has taken this versatile compound through an extrusion process to create a thin film, then paired the film with 3M's unique pressure sensitive adhesives to make these PTFE tapes. Innovative, high performance 3M PTFE tapes are reliable, durable and reduce friction.
