Properties ASTM Test Method 3M PTFE Extruded Tape 5490 Adhesion to Steel: 27 oz./in. width (29 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength: 22 lbs./in. width (385 N/100 mm) D-3759 Elongation at Break: 150% D-3759 Backing Thickness: 2.0 mils (0.05 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 3.7 mils (0.09 mm) D-3652 Temperature Use Range: -65 to 500F (-54 to 260C) 3M PTFE Extruded Tape 5491 Adhesion to Steel: 35 oz./in. width (38 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength: 40 lbs./in. width (700 N/100 mm) D-3759 Elongation at Break: 200% D-3759 Backing Thickness: 5.0 mils (0.13 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 6.7 mils (0.17 mm) D-3652 Temperature Use Range: -65 to 500F (-54 to 260C) Features Extruded, calendered film tapes that resist curling during unwind and provide an exceptionally smooth surface when applied. Extruded PTFE film tapes lie flatter than typical skived PTFE film tapes. Thicker backing helps extend the service life, compared to thinner versions, when subjected to abrasion or wear. Provides excellent chemical resistance except to organic solvents. 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). 3M 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.
