6113-05 Virgin, Skived PTFE
6113-05 is a single-coated thin-gauge PTFE film tape constructed with a 0.005″ virgin skived PTFE substrate and 0.002″ of acrylic adhesive, for a 0.007″ total nominal thickness. The thin PTFE gauge produces high elongation and conformability for wire-wrap and insulation applications, with 13,500 volts dielectric strength supporting use as a high-voltage electrical insulation tape. Peel adhesion is 50 oz/in of width. Operating temperature spans −40°F to 350°F continuous.

6113-05 is a thin-gauge variant of H-O’s PTFE film tape product family, constructed with a 0.005″ (5 mil) virgin skived polytetrafluoroethylene substrate coated with 0.002″ of acrylic adhesive, for a 0.007″ total nominal thickness. The PTFE substrate is supplied in blue.
The “skived virgin” designation identifies the manufacturing method and material purity: PTFE billet is mechanically skived (peeled) into a thin film rather than extruded, producing a fully fluorinated, virgin polymer film with consistent thickness and surface characteristics. The thinner gauge (versus the 0.012″ 6113-10 variant) yields higher elongation and conformability — desirable attributes for wire-wrap and irregular-surface insulation applications.
The defining application differentiator is the published dielectric strength of 13,500 volts (nominal), positioning 6113-05 as an electrical insulation tape suitable for high-dielectric and high-temperature wire wrap and masking applications. The PTFE substrate also provides the chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and non-stick surface properties characteristic of the polymer family.
Peel adhesion is 50 oz/in of width — moderate by acrylic adhesive standards but reliable for the thin-substrate construction. Operating temperature is −40°F to 350°F continuous. Adhesive shelf life is greater than 6 months and less than 12 months — narrower than the 24-month rating on the heavier-gauge 6113-10 variant, suggesting tighter adhesive aging characteristics for this thinner-substrate construction.
What differentiates 6113-05 from 6113-10 PTFE Film Tape?
6113-05 uses a thinner 0.005" PTFE substrate (vs 0.010" on 6113-10), producing higher conformability and elongation suited for wire wrap and irregular-surface insulation. 6113-05 also publishes dielectric strength explicitly (13,500 volts) and is positioned for high-dielectric electrical applications. 6113-10 is positioned for wear stripping, lining, and chemical resistance — applications where the heavier substrate provides better mechanical durability. Both share the same 0.002" acrylic adhesive and −40°F to 350°F operating range.
Why is dielectric strength important when selecting this tape?
For electrical insulation applications, dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage the film can withstand before breakdown. The 13,500 V rating supports use in high-voltage wire wrap, motor and transformer insulation, and similar applications where the tape must isolate energized conductors. Combined with PTFE's intrinsic chemical resistance and 350°F thermal capability, this makes 6113-05 a robust choice for harsh-environment electrical applications.
What is the operating temperature range for 6113-05?
6113-05 has a continuous operating temperature range of −40°F to 350°F.
Is 6113-05 suitable for chemical-exposed or non-stick applications?
Yes. PTFE substrate provides broad chemical resistance and superior low-friction, non-stick surface properties. The TDS explicitly identifies non-stick surface applications and high-dielectric/high-temperature uses as primary target categories. No specific regulatory compliance standards are listed on the TDS for this material.
How should 6113-05 be specified?
Specify product (6113-05 Virgin, Skived PTFE), substrate thickness (0.005" PTFE film), adhesive thickness (0.002" acrylic), overall thickness (0.007"), color (Blue), application category (wire wrap / electrical insulation / non-stick / thermal masking), dielectric requirements, compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
