Important product change at 3M™ – PFAS-free from October 2025
3M™ is working intensively to manufacture all products without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the end of 2025. This is the manufacturer's response to new legal requirements and increasing demands for sustainable solutions.
What does this mean for you?
From October 1, 2025, the following product will be produced in a reformulated, PFAS-free version:
Product: 3M™ adhesive tape for masking and splicing
Designation: 5699
New production start: October 1, 2025
The previous formulation is expected to be available for only a short time. If you have larger requirements, we recommend planning ahead.
Quality remains guaranteed
3M™ is testing the new version in accordance with the strict standards IATF-16949 and ISO-9001. Samples can be requested if required. According to the manufacturer, resampling (PPAP) is not necessary.
Your security
If a product does not meet the specifications, 3M™ will offer a replacement or refund of the purchase price as usual – so you are on the safe side.
