3 PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 • 5453 Technical Data October, 2016 Product Description Premium performance 3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 and 5453 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). These tapes provide a slick surface on process machinery and offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a non-stick surface that performs at elevated temperatures. Product Construction Backing Adhesive Color Standard Roll Length Woven glass cloth impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) Silicone Brown 36 yds.

ASTM Test Method Features 3M tape 5451 Adhesion to Steel: Tensile Strength: Backing Thickness: Total Tape Thickness: Temperature Use Range: 38 oz./in. width (41 N/100 mm) 100 lbs./in. width (1760 N/100 mm) 5.6 mils (0.14 mm) 3.2 mils (0.08 mm) -100° to 500°F (-73° to 260°C) D-3330 D-3759 D-3652 D-3652 3M tape 5453 Adhesion to Steel: Tensile Strength: Backing Thickness: Total Tape Thickness: Temperature Use Range: 55 oz./in. width (60 N/100 mm) 175 lbs./in. width (3065 N/100 mm) 6.0 mils (0.15 mm) 8.2 mils (0.21 mm) -100° to 500°F (-73° to 260°C) D-3330 D-3759 D-3652 D-3652 • Very low moisture absorption allows the tape to perform in many humid environments.  Premium glass cloth reinforced backing provides greater tensile strength and resistance to tears and punctures than typical PTFE film backed tapes.  Excellent chemical resistance enables tape to withstand challenging applications. CAUTION: When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 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 tape to temperatures above 600°F (316°C). 3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 • 5453 Application Ideas • • • • Storage Store under normal conditions of 60° to 80°F (16° to 27°C) and 40 to 60% R.H. in the original carton.
