Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with low-friction backing, instant rubber adhesive, and built-in liner for die-cutting. Ideal for abrasion protection, noise reduction, and sliding applications in aerospace, automotive, and industrial settings.
The 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a premium-grade polyethylene tape engineered for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications in demanding industrial environments. This thick, general-purpose tape features Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing that delivers exceptional low-friction performance and superior chemical resistance. The tape's translucent, abrasion-resistant backing creates an effective 'slip-plane' effect between surfaces while protecting them from wear, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.
Designed with a built-in silicone-treated kraft paper liner, this tape allows for easy die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes, providing flexibility for custom fabrication needs. The rubber adhesive provides instant adhesion on countless surfaces, while the low coefficient of friction reduces unwanted noise including buzz, squeaks, and rattles caused by vibration or movement. With a maximum operating temperature of 225°F (107°C) and minimum of -30°F (-34°C), this tape maintains performance across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Each case contains 6 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 1.5 inches wide by 18 yards long and 12 mils thick. The UHMW-PE backing provides superior abrasion resistance that exceeds PTFE while maintaining excellent impact strength. This versatile tape is commonly used in flat conveyor guide rails, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses. Its 18-month shelf life ensures long-term storage capability for inventory management.
