TFES-5 Teflon Tape

PTFE-5 Skived Teflon Tape Is a 5 mil pure skived Teflon™ (PTFE film) tape with a high temperature silicone adhesive. It comes self-wound without a liner. Used in electrical applications such as harness / coil wraps & separators, transformers and slot liners where good insulation and heat resistance are required. Also used in mechanical applications such as heat sealing bars & jaws, labeling machine pressure pads, chute liners, anti-friction devices, bearings, forming dies, aircraft mold release & guide rails where high temperature, maximum slip and lubricity are required. High elongation of PTFE-5 permits tight wrapping and conforms to sharp bends/irregular surfaces. Technical Information PTFE-5 Skived Teflon Tape Adhesive: silicone Carrier/Backing: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film / pure skived Teflon Thickness: 7.2 mils (carrier, adhesive) 5 mils (carrier)  Adhesion: 30 ounces per inch (to stainless steel test panel) Tensile Strength: 15 pounds per inch (longitudinal) Dielectric Strength: 12000 volts Service/Operating Temperature: -100°F to 500°F Elongation: 200% Core: 3" diameter   TFES-5 Teflon Tape Tech Data Sheet         Additional Information   Nominal Tape Widths vs Actual Widths Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples: 1" Nominal width = 15/16" (24mm) Actual width 2" Nominal width = 1-7/8" (48mm) Actual width 3" Nominal width = 2-13/16" (72mm) Actual width Note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free.
