Note: The silicone adhesive will be attacked by commercial organic solvents and is not recommended for applications requiring organic resistance. CAUTION: When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 600F (316C), 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 600F (316C). 3MTM PTFE Extruded Film Tape 5490 * 5491 Application Ideas * Easy-release surface on rollers, plates, belts, etc. where build-up of sticky materials and inks can occur. * Low coefficient of friction surface on rollers, formers, etc. to facilitate web movement. * Chemical resistant surface for sealing and masking. * Wrapping rubber nip rollers on hot polyethylene extrusion machines. Storage Store under normal conditions of 60 to 80F (16 to 27C) and 40 to 60% R.H. in the original carton. Shelf Life To obtain best performance, use this product within 24 months from date of manufacture.
