Our 3M™ Traction Tape 5401 provides a high coefficient of friction on web rollers. This creates constant traction and tension for web material from start-up through wind-up, while simultaneously providing a non-stick, premium release surface that also won't interfere with printing, converting or other web processes.
3M™ Traction Tape 5401 features a glass cloth backing with pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive. 3M glass cloth tapes combine high temperature resistance, high adhesion, and a very strong, abrasion resistant backing. The glass cloth backing is reinforced with fiberglass and resists shrinking, rotting, or burning – providing exceptional stability in production environments up to 300ºF. The backing is also conformable and enables a smooth application when wrapped or used in spiral formations.
Our 5401 tape is applied by hand and primarily used to provide traction to material passing over rollers and drive rollers common in printing, Flexo Printing, converting and web processes, while also providing a non-stick surface for adhesives using the same rollers - reducing time wasted changing or cleaning rollers. The long-lasting, silicone adhesive adheres well to most surfaces and removes cleanly with minimal clean-up.
