Product Details Regulatory Info/SDS
Product Description
3M PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480 offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure
sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of
web materials in many types of roll-wrap applications
Product Features
Skived 3M PTFE Film Tapes are more conformable than typical extruded PTFE film tapes.
Provides excellent chemical resistance except to organic solvents. Note: The silicone adhesive will be attacked by
commercial organic solvents and so are not recommended for applications requiring organic resistance.
Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces.
Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up.

Handling/Application Information
Application Examples
Easy-release surface provided by wrapping rollers, plates, belts, etc. where build- up of sticky materials and inks can
occur.
Shielding and protecting against chemicals.
Mold release for composite or metal bonding.
High temperature wire bundling and harnessing.
High strength and abrasion resistance reduce friction between surfaces, minimizing squeak and noise.
Wide temperature range for performance on heated machinery and equipment.
CAUTION:When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 600 F (316 C), small quantities of hazardous vapors
may be released. INHALATION OF THESE VAPORS MAY BE HARMFUL OR MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Do not heat or expose PTFE film tape to temperatures above 600 F (316 C).
Storage and Shelf Life
Store under normal conditions of 16 to 27 C (60 to 80 F) and 40 to 60% relative humidity in the original packaging,
out of direct sunlight. For best performance, use this product within 24 months from date of manufacture.
