Questions about PTFE Tape / Teflon Tape for Vacuum, Hand and Impulse Sealers (1/2-inch x 30 feet) - Fits FoodSaver, Seal A Meal, Weston, Cabella's by IMPRESA

I seen this and thought it was interesting. But I don't know what this is for can you explain it to me. Is it for a machine or for help ceiling bags?

Answer: The tape is for vacuum sealing machines such as those manufactured by Foodsaver (see www.foodsaver.com). The tape is applied to the sealing machine, over the heater strip. This provides a smooth surface that will not stick to the bag being sealed. The original tape eventually gets wrinkles from repeated use, making it difficult to seal the bags well. Assuming everything else functions on the machine, replacing the teflon tape will restore your machine to perform like new.

Answer: It goes over the wire element on impulse sealers to protect against poly bag sticking when heat is applied

Answer: It goes on the machine to ceiling the bags,

Answer: The common use for PTFE Tape is to provide a seal between threaded plumbing pipes to prevent any leaks. One will use this when you screw on a shower head to a hose or to a pipe for example. The tape will be applied by wrapping it around the threads before attaching the receiving end.

Answer: It's the tape that covers the seal strip on a vacuum sealer(food save, etc). Just cut it to length

Answer: ð` Hello!

how thick is the tape?

Answer: Same thickness as scotch tape

Answer: The tape is just a hair thicker but I like the thickness I think it actually works better the the original tape that came with my food saver!

Answer: 6 mils made in USA

Answer: Appears to be a direct replacement for the original, so far it is working as the original did.

does this fits cuisinart VS100?

Answer: I don't have that model so I can't say it does for certain. I think it would though as all the foodsaver models I've seen have an identical heater strip section.

Answer: As far as I know yes. Just cut to length, peel backing, and place on top of existing old tape.

How smooth is the un-sticky, non-adhesive side of this tape? Thinking of buying it for my Klask game.

Answer: I don't know what a Klask game is but the telflon tape is pretty smooth on the non adhesive side

Answer: It is very slick and smooth.

Answer: I think it is smooth, not lumpy or inconsistent.

Answer: It's very smooth.

Answer: Very. Works great on my sealer

which manufacturer made this tape?

Answer: I don’t know that answer. Check on Amazon’s product description page it should be listed there.

What is the maximum temperature it can be used at?

Answer: I am not sure but it works fine on my Food Saver Vacuum sealer.

does this work on a cabella's model 20-108 vac sealer

Answer:

Answer: I do not know if this Teflon Tape will work on your Sealer. You may want to contact the manufacturer of your model. We used it on our Food Saver Sealer and it worked perfect.

Answer: Don't know about that model but it worked fine on my FoodSaver V3425.

Answer: not sure

Will it work on a Vacmaster VP 215?

Is this tape good to use on a commercial sealer of shrink wrap machine ? What is the maximum temperature it takes ?

Answer: I use mine on a commercial sealer and the tape is holding up well. Much better than the OEM tape I bought previously. I don't know max temp. but it is not turning dark and falling apart like the original tape.

Answer: I do not know if this tape can be used for commercial sealer. However we bought this tape to replace it on our Food Sealer machine. We use the heavy plastic bags that are designed for tis Food Saver and the fusion is very tight.

Answer: Yes use on any machine Temp is up to 500 F Sealer Supply

Answer: Don't know the maximum temperature, but this is good to om commercial sealers.

Answer: I have used it on two of my Food Savers with great results. I removed the original tape that came with the Food Savers and this is much better. I don't know the temp question but I have used it for 45 minutes nonstop sealing bags with no problems

I'm using this for another purpose. Is there a datasheet or something available regarding the max temperature the material and adhesive are rated for?

Answer: I did not get any information with the tape, but it is heavy duty and quite thick. It works well on my vacuum sealer.

Does this work for the balloon sealers such as premium balloon accessories maxi seal 8 inch model?

How do I remove old tape

Answer: The tape shouldn't be hard to peel off. Use a plastic knife to start it or something that won't scratch. I used cigarette lighter fluid to remove the glue residue.

Answer: No problem just pull it off, make sure when you install ty new tape leave enough to cover the end of the new tape about 1/2 inch on each end to cover the end.

Answer: Carefully peel it off backwards. Cut the new strip to ensure that the ends fold down to the sides just a little bit. Once done take your finger and run it across the tape to ensure it’s seated right.

Answer: I used an xacto knife and peeled it up, then applied a cotton-ball wet with lighter fluid to remove sticky residue.

Answer: It should peel off,you might have to clean off any residue. I used alcohol to clean mine.

Answer: Razor scraper

Answer: not sure try alcohol

Product reviews of PTFE Tape / Teflon Tape for Vacuum, Hand and Impulse Sealers (1/2-inch x 30 feet) - Fits FoodSaver, Seal A Meal, Weston, Cabella's by IMPRESA

PRF : Five Stars

Worked great on my Food saver which had a small burn/tear which left a weak spot. Thanks

Ryan : Better and cheaper!

Better than the tape that came on our food saver!
Was easy to cut and apply new tape.

My wife is a chef and says this is the same stuff they use on the commercial grade vacuum equipment at her work.

Cheaper for this whole roll than buying one strip from food saver!

Marc : Great quality!

Very impressed with the quality for the price. The tape helped me fix a leaky vacuum hose. I haven't used the tape for other purposes but can imagine that it would be helpful in a number of applications.

Marcia S. Snow : worked like a charm

We needed to replace the heat sealer tape on our old food saver. This product worked like a charm. My husband is one fantastic handyman

Works better than the factory tape (which was barely holding when the unit came in). Fixed my issues with inconsistent seals without breaking the bank. Very happy.

Vin : Economical

Jerry Stewart : Very fast service

Thank you,
I received tape on Sunday as promised. I will order again when needed.

Mark E. Waugh : Perfect replacement for Foodsaver

Exactly what my food sealer needed. Make sure you clean the element after removing the old tape with rubbing alcohol before putting on this tape.

Pastel Gran : Great tape

I did not have a way to use my Cabela commercial vacuum sealer because they no longer carry parts. All I needed was the tape. Glad to know your company makes this product. Thank you so much.

Capron : Works Great!

Works like a charm. Now our FoodSave seals like new. Bags slip right in again. Sure beats buying a new machine. Try it. This stuff fixed our FoodSaver. Wish I'd known about it before my last FoodSaver died.

Don : Five Stars

Great price and product works good.

Cody W : Works Great

Bought for my chamber sealer. Works very good. Lasts a long time. Won't be needing more anytime soon.

HomesteadTillURdead : Savior for home sealers!

I use this on my Weston Pro. The heat tape they send me in the repair kits always buckles after a few seals. ...this tape takes longer to buckle and comes with more than enough on a roll to replace whenever necessary.

HomesteadTillURdead : Savior for home sealers!

John N. : Works well.

Quality product.

Nancy & Greg : If your Vacuum Sealer does not seal well, don't replace the machine, buy this teflon tape.

My mother uses her Foodsaver so often the tape wore away in spots and it sealed erratically. Since she is an "ahem" older person, of the generation that fixes things instead of throws them away, she called Foodsaver about fixing it. They said it could not be repaired. I found this tape and risked $10. to try it for her. All I had to do was remove the old tape and all tape residue. UNPLUG IT FIRST!. ;) Then I laid the tape down over the wire and Tada!, her Foodsaver works like new! The roll contains enough to probably fix many Foodsavers. The tape is a little wider that the original tape I removed but fit well and does not change the way the Foodsaver works.

Seaner : Brilliant!!

So I was shopping for a new FoodSaver to replace the $5 FoodSaver 1050 (original model) that I got at the thrift store, as it (surprise) didn't really work right.
In my searching I came across this PTFE tape for $10, read the description, looked at the tape on mine (yellow, stained, kinda gross) and thought 'Hmmmmm'...
$10 and 2 days later my (now $15) FoodSaver is working like new, saving me $60 over getting a new one, AND I was able to put new tape on my neighbours and it's 'like new' now too!
Plenty of tape left to fix more or keep this one going forever & easily trimmed to the right width with a hobby knife after installing.
Thanks!

Kindle Customer : Great product. Meets or exceeds original manufactured item

Great product. Meets or exceeds original manufactured item. I repaired a number of Food Saver vacuum sealers that had tape that was slipping off them. Arrived quickly and in condition promised. Great deal for the money.

William B. : Beward

We have a vacuum sealer. The tape was coming off. We bought replacement that was supposed to be specifically made for this model. It only stayed on a few minutes and did not work. Bought this tape and it seems to fit well when cut. Unfortunately, we cannot get the vacuum sealer to seal. Don't know if it's the tape or the rubber, which we also replace.

Gary : Five Stars

Good quality (:

MACRX : Worked. Saved my food saver.

Replaced the food saver heating strip and worked like new.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

great

C. Kramer : Didn’t work for me

This did not work for my food saver, ugh!! My bags still melted through instead of sealing. Ended up buying a new food saver.

D. Zellner : Exactly what I needed.

It was just what I needed to repair my foodsaver. Worked like a charm.

CJ : Works like new now!!!

Easy fix for loose Teflon tape on your seal a meal vacuum sealer! Unplug unit. Gently remove old loose tape. Clean heating strip area with rubbing alcohol and slick paper. Allow to dry. Cut new piece of tape from the roll as long as old tape. Apply new tape over heating strip, you may need to trim the tape a bit to insert into slots on either end. Never clean heat strip area with wet cloth as that causes tape to loosen.

William M. : Five Stars

Worked great. It got my Food Saver working again.

sebastien : fast delivery

good product

Capron : Works Great!

Cody W : Works Great

Bought for my chamber sealer. Works very good. Lasts a long time. Won't be needing more anytime soon.

Nancy & Greg : If your Vacuum Sealer does not seal well, don't replace the machine, buy this teflon tape.

GREG E. PEYTON : Good stuff. Yuuuge quantity for a good price.

Good quality tape. I saved my foodsaver from the garbage can by replacing. The massive quantity of tape was the same price as much shorter pieces offered elsewhere. I'll go to my grave with replacement tape on hand. I may start a business replacing tape. I just might sleep with this tape, I'm so happy to have my vacuum sealer back in operation.

Ted Mercurio : Works well

Works well on the seal bar of my VP112s after the factory cover wore out.

GREG E. PEYTON : Good stuff. Yuuuge quantity for a good price.

Ronathon : Great price

Good replacement heat tape for my Weston and my food saver sealers

Nefertedi : Easy fix for food saver seal strip

Love this product! I fixed my food saver seal strip in no time with product left to do repairs for a long time.

PRF : Five Stars

Worked great on my Food saver which had a small burn/tear which left a weak spot. Thanks

Amazon Customer : A little narrower than the stock tape on professional vac sealers.

The Weston Pro sealers have an extra wide seal bar. This looks like it will just barely cover that, but it's noticeably narrower than the stock teflon tape on the sealer when new. A little disappointed in that.

Teresa Wright : Works even though it’s wider than the place I needed it to fit.

Is a bit too wide and I didn’t find an option for width.

Lindy : Five Stars

So far working great

Mary H. : Money saved!

I had already looked through the replacements parts and couldn't find anything to fix my foodsaver. I noticed the teflon tape was peeling up on the heating element. I hit up foodsaver and told them what was going on and they told me the machine was toast and there were no replacement parts. They didn't sell anything. I said "so, my great machine is now junk?". There reply was that they apologize but it was done and to buy a new one. So, after verifying it was the tape, I simply googled it, right to Amazon and ordered this stuff. Took all of 1 minutes to do the complete fix and the machine is as good as new. And there is so much of it that I can replace it every 6 months and I won't run out.
