Description

3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tapes 5151 and 5153 are constructed using (PTFE) polytetra-

fluoroethylene impregnated glass cloth with silicone adhesive. These tapes are used in

many applications requiring high temperature performance and high abrasion resistance.

3M tapes 5151 and 5153 also come in a premium grade and a liner version.

Features

• Very low moisture absorption allows the tape to perform in many humid environments.

• Provides greater tensile strength and resistance to tear and puncture than typical PTFE

film backed tapes.

• Thick glass cloth backing for a long wear life and high impact and puncture resistance.

• Thick PTFE coating for an exceptionally smooth surface and provides non-stick, low

friction surface.

• Easy release liner on versions with liner.

• Silicone adhesive offers high temperature performance and long aging.

CAUTION: When PTFE film tapes are exposed to temperatures about 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 tapes to temperatures above 600°F (316°C).
