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

enough product for the next 10 years of repairs. why buy one 18" strip when you can get a mini roll of it for almost the same price.

MOSES : ELIMINATES THE STICK!

FOOD SAVERWORKS JUST LIKE NEW NOW! THE TAPE SURE ELIMINATES THE BAGS STICKING TO THE HEATER BAR. ELIMINATES HAVING TO SLIDE A KNIFE BETWEEN HEATER AND BAG TO GET IT FREE. MY SON SAYS HE HAS A USE FOR THIS TAP ON HIS 3D PRINTER!

Dave Rosenhauer : Great replacement for old Seal a Meal

Easy install works great.

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.

Sharon : Works Perfectly in an Old FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer

Replaced the tape on an old FoodSaver model and it is sealing like new again. Great bargain compared to replacing the whole unit.

TJ : Will buy again

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do, great value!

wolf443 : Best buy

Just what I needed to breathe life back into my Food Saver.

Lawrence Campbell : Repair made easy with this tape!

Great product and price,very happy with the repair this tape made to my wife’s food saver.

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!

JoeKid : Worked on very Old Tilla Vacuum Sealer

It Fixed leaky sealing. Quick and easy fix.

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.

tmagic : Helped the Food Saver

Noticed the old tape had some "wrinkles" in it and was noticing the vacuum pack wasn't sealing very well. Thought maybe the "wrinkles" in the tape could cause the problem. Looked at pricing and for the money this roll was better than buying a 3 pack of shorter pieces. Carefully removed the old tape, cut the new tape to size. Installed it and now my Food Saver is sealing like a champ. The little wrinkles were enough to keep a good heat seal from happening. Plus with all the extra I have If I notice any kind of "wrinkle" forming I can remove and put a new piece of tape on. Very happy cause my machine is now working like brand new!

Don : Five Stars

Great price and product works good.

MLN : Wish I knew about this 10 years ago when I replaced my original FoodSaver.

Wish I knew about this 10 years ago when I replaced my original FoodSaver.
It was 20 years old, yes it was 1 of the originals, when the heat strip would burn holes in the bags where the tape had worn thru.
Only issue with it.
I figure buying the roll versus the individual strips of tape this FoodSaver should last longer than me.
Simple to replace.
Didn't worry about a perfect fit as long as the heating strip is completely covered and the cover latching holes are clear all is good.
I would recommend to anyone that has a FoodSaver with the heating strip having hot spots to use this before even thinking about replacing their vacuum sealer.
Just finished vacuum sealing a whole butchered steer, around 1200 lbs of home grown beef.
Works like new.

krafter : Glad I bought this...

Great product so far. Easy to install in my foodsaver. Works well sealing bags.

Perry R. : Essential to repair Pulse Sealer

This tape is needed in repairing your impulse sealer. It works just as described by the manufacturer.

waterford dude : Five Stars

A+

K. S. O'DELL : Reliable

The expected product ordered, arrived on time in excellent condition. No issues with supplier, Impressa Products. The product itself was applied to a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and is performing as expected; good replacement part/tape. The gaskets appear to have lost their seal, so you may consider ordering those along with this tape if servicing a FoodSaver of your own.

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.

JoeKid : Worked on very Old Tilla Vacuum Sealer

It Fixed leaky sealing. Quick and easy fix.

Jay Branman : Great product; in fact

Great product; in fact, I think it's actually better than the original strip that comes with the vacuum sealer. I almost bought a 3 pack of 18" strips for the same price, but then I saw this 30' roll and am very glad I got this. I'm sure I'll never go through the whole thing, but it's nice to know I pretty much have an unlimited supply.

It was very easy to apply, and sticky enough that I'm confident it'll hold for plenty of time, if not indefinitely. The quality of the bag seals seems to be every bit a good as the original.

I just applied it a couple days before writing this review (12-30-2017). If and when it needs to be replaced, or I have any issues with it, I will update this review.

Floyd Webb : Heat strip tape

Satisfied

Josh Stevens : A little expensive, but it does the trick. ...

A little expensive, but it does the trick. I do have to change it out about every week-2 weeks (I use impulse sealer hundreds of times a day though).

TheDude : I have the and this tape is slightly too narrow ...

I have the and this tape is slightly too narrow for it. The tape covers the heat bar, but it does not extend to the edge of the base that is above and below the bar, so it is not affixed to the machine as well as it should be. The original tape is about 1/16 inch wider and it covered the heat bar and affixed firmly to the the base on the top and bottom. The original tape is significantly thicker too. It seems to be O.K. for the price, but it does not meet OEM specifications for my machine and it is not OEM quality.

Chuck H : Good quality Teflon tape.

Adheres well on my food saver.

Capron : Works Great!

Ronathon : Great price

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

Lawrence Campbell : Repair made easy with this tape!

Great product and price,very happy with the repair this tape made to my wife’s food saver.

Gadg' guy : BAG SEALER HEAT STRIP TAPE

Good price on more than enough heat strip tape. After thorough cleaning and prep the tape laid down nice and smooth and my vacuum sealer seals like new again.

SA : Five Stars

Worked Great!

BRIAN SANDS : Don't be fooled by other brands

This worked perfectly in my Weston Pro 2300. And for a fraction of what Weston wanted for a few strips or Walton's.

Floyd Webb : Heat strip tape

Sharon : Works Perfectly in an Old FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer

Replaced the tape on an old FoodSaver model and it is sealing like new again. Great bargain compared to replacing the whole unit.

Amazon Customer : This increased our suction power of a Weston sealing unit…

We thought perhaps the pump on our Weston sealer was dying, but it turned out to be a worn out lower seal. Changed it with this tape and it's now as good as new!
