Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with ultra-low friction, abrasion resistance, and rubber adhesive for high-impact industrial applications. Features translucent backing, built-in liner for die-cutting, and noise reduction capabilities.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a premium thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape engineered for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications in demanding industrial environments. Featuring ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing, this tape delivers exceptional low-friction performance and superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration. The translucent, slick surface creates a 'slip-plane' effect between surfaces, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal friction and easy material movement. With a rubber adhesive that provides instant adhesion on countless surfaces and a built-in peel-off liner for easy die-cutting, this tape offers versatile solutions for fabricating part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes.
The exceptional hardness and low surface energy of UHMW-PE backing make this tape superior to PTFE in abrasion resistance while maintaining comparable friction coefficients. It effectively reduces unwanted noise including buzz, squeaks, rattles, and vibration-related disturbances that occur with movement. The tape's 520% elongation at break and robust construction ensure long-lasting performance even in the most challenging conditions. This industrial-grade tape is specifically designed for use in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries where reliable surface protection and noise reduction are critical.
With a maximum operating temperature of 225°F (107°C) and minimum of -30°F (-34°C), this tape maintains consistent performance across a wide temperature range. The 26 oz/in adhesion strength and 150 N/cm tensile strength provide reliable holding power for demanding applications. Whether protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses, lining spray booths, or creating drawer and cabinet slides, 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 delivers professional-grade results with an 18-month shelf life from date of manufacture.
