3M™ PTFE Extruded Film Tape 5491

Smooth surface solution for low friction and clean release performance

3M™ PTFE Extruded Film Tape 5491 is a high-performance non-stick, low friction tape designed for high temperature and high-wear industrial applications. Featuring an extruded PTFE (Teflon) backing with a silicone adhesive, it creates a smooth release surface that improves material movement and reduces buildup in processing environments.

Compared to standard PTFE film tapes, 5491 offers a thicker backing for increased durability and longer service life, making it ideal for demanding applications such as roller wrapping, heat sealing equipment, and web handling systems.

With continuous performance up to 500°F (260°C), this tape is widely used in packaging, converting, and manufacturing environments where heat resistance, release properties, and abrasion resistance are critical.
