Physical ASTM Test Method Properties 3M tape 5151 Adhesion to Steel: 33 oz./in. width (36 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength at Break: 110 lbs./in.width (1925 N/100 mm) D-3759 Backing Thickness: 3.0 mils (0.08 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 5.3 mils (0.13 mm) D-3652 Temperature Use Range: -100F to 500F (-73C to 260C) 3M tape 5153 Adhesion to Steel: 43 oz./in. width (47 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength at Break: 290 lbs./in.width (5075 N/100 mm) D-3759 Backing Thickness: 5.8 mils (0.15 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 8.0 mils (0.20 mm) D-3652 Temperature Use Range: -100F to 500F (-73C to 260C) 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 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 tapes to temperatures above 600F (316C). 3M PTFE Glass Cloth Tapes 5151 5153 Application Ideas Easy release surface on packaging and heat sealing machines, ironing and pressing equipment. Release surface on metal bonding tools. Lining conveying chutes, troughs and ducts. Covering rollers, drums, turnbars and formers on stitches, binders and other process machinery. Storage Store under normal conditions of 60 to 80F (15 to 27C) and 40 to 50% R.H. in the original carton.
