Premium UHMW polyethylene protective tape with low friction and superior abrasion resistance. 24 in x 18 yd roll with rubber adhesive for industrial applications including conveyors, chutes, and protective liners.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5421 is a premium protective tape designed for industrial applications requiring superior abrasion resistance and low friction performance. This transparent polyethylene-based tape features ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW-PE) backing that creates a protective "slip plane" effect between surfaces, allowing contact without wear. The tape measures 24 inches wide by 18 yards long with a total thickness of 6.7 mil, making it ideal for protecting plastic and metal surfaces in demanding environments.
The tape is engineered with a rubber adhesive that provides excellent initial tack for immediate bonding to material surfaces. Its unique combination of properties includes exceptional hardness, low surface energy, and outstanding abrasion resistance that exceeds PTFE performance. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear while reducing squeaks, rattles, and other noises caused by vibration or movement. This makes it an effective solution for conveyor guide rails, chutes, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and aluminum sheet protection on stretch forming presses.
The tape is mounted on a 60# densified kraft paper liner with silicone treatment, making it easy to die-cut and fabricate into various lengths and shapes for specific applications. With a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture and operating temperature range from -30°F to 225°F (-34°C to 107°C), this industrial-grade tape is suitable for aerospace, automotive, printing, and maintenance/repair/operations (MRO) industries. The product meets ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications, ensuring reliable performance in tough impact wear and sliding applications.
