Premium UHMW polyethylene tape with low-friction backing, powerful rubber adhesive, and built-in liner for instant surface protection and noise reduction in industrial applications.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape engineered for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications in demanding industrial environments. This premium-quality tape features Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing that delivers exceptional low-friction performance and superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing provides instant surface protection while creating a natural 'slip-plane' effect between surfaces, making it ideal for applications where lubrication is not feasible due to contamination concerns.
The tape's exceptional hardness and slick surface characteristics make it perfect for reducing unwanted noise including squeaks, rattles, and buzzing sounds that occur with movement and vibration. Featuring a powerful rubber adhesive that creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces, the 5423 tape excels in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries. The built-in 60# densified kraft paper liner with silicone treatment allows for easy die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes, providing maximum fabrication flexibility for custom applications.
With a maximum operating temperature of 225°F (107°C) and minimum operating temperature of -30°F (-34°C), this versatile tape maintains consistent performance across wide temperature ranges. Recommended applications include flat conveyor guide rails and chutes, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses. Each case contains 6 rolls of 18-yard length, providing substantial coverage for industrial operations.
