3M PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480 uses a skived, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), conformable film backing. This tape 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.
- Non-stick PTFE film provides an exceptionally slick surface for easy clean-up
- Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces
- Wide temperature range for performance on heated machinery and equipment
- Skived 3M™ PTFE Film Tapes are more conformable than typical extruded PTFE film tapes
- Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications

The 3M PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480 features a skived film backing that offers excellent conformability when unwound from the roll. Unlike typical extruded PTFE film tapes, this tape provides a quick and easy solution to reduce friction between moving surfaces. It acts as an anti-stick or easy-release medium, preventing adhesion caused by pressure, temperature changes, and other factors. By applying the 3M PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480, you can improve surface movement, eliminate squeaks and rattles, and reduce machine noise. Additionally, PTFE is highly resistant to chemicals, making it suitable for use as a temporary chemical barrier. With a wide temperature use range of -65F/-54C to 500F/260C, this tape is versatile and can be used in various applications.
Recommended Applications- Roll-wrap for web processing, belts, and plates where sticky materials and inks may occur
- High temperature wire bundling and harnessing
- Squeak and noise reduction
- Shielding and protecting against chemicals
- Mold release for composite bonding
What is PTFE?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic material widely used in different industries and applications to reduce friction. Its non-stick properties and high heat resistance make it an ideal choice for non-stick coatings in frying pans and other cookware. PTFE is also an excellent insulating material for electrical applications due to its non-conductivity. Its chemical resistance, thanks to the fluoropolymer bonds, makes it non-reactive to numerous chemicals, making it suitable for containers and pipework handling reactive and corrosive substances. PTFE significantly reduces friction, wear, and improves energy efficiency in machinery. It outperforms nylon or acetal in industrial applications that require sliding action of parts, such as bearings, gears, and slide plates. 3M has utilized an extrusion process to create a thin film from this versatile compound and combined it with their unique pressure-sensitive adhesives to produce these high-performance PTFE tapes. The 3M PTFE tapes are innovative, reliable, durable, and effectively reduce friction.
