Note: The silicone adhesive will be attacked by commercial organic solvents and so are not recommended for applications requiring organic resistance. CAUTION: When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 600F (316C), 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 600F (316C). 3MTM PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480 * 5481 Application Ideas * Wrapping rubber laminating rollers on hot polyethylene extruders to create a release surface to help minimize clean-up. * Easy-release surface provided by wrapping rollers, plates, belts, etc. where buildup of sticky materials and inks can occur. * Chemical resistant surface for sealing and masking. Storage Store under normal conditions of 60 to 80F (16 to 27C) and 40 to 60% R.H. in the original carton.
