3M™ PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5453 Brown
Introducing the 3M™ 5453, this PTFE tape uses a Brown woven glass cloth backing offering with PTFE integrated and a silicone adhesive offering high-temperature performance. This tape provides a non-stick, low friction surface for a broad range of surfaces, including metals, plastics and wood. The 3M 5453 quality tape provides shear strength, surface adhesion and abrasive resistance that ensures reliability and high performance. The excellent abrasion resistance makes it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.
Some of PTFEs key material characteristics are the fact that its both extremely low friction, and is hydrophobic (meaning it repels water). This makes PTFE tape incredibly useful for a wide range of plumbing and pipework jobs and heated equipment and machinery.
