Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tape with low-friction backing and powerful rubber adhesive. Ideal for reducing wear, noise, and vibration in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Features built-in liner for easy die-cutting.
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 tape features Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing that delivers exceptional low-friction performance and outstanding resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing protects surfaces from wear while creating a 'slip-plane' effect that reduces friction between moving parts, making it ideal for applications where lubrication is not feasible due to contamination concerns.
The tape's exceptional hardness and slick surface make it perfect for maintaining smooth gliding action and reducing unwanted noises such as squeaks, rattles, and buzzes that occur with movement and wear. With a rubber adhesive that creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces, this tape provides powerful, long-lasting bonding performance. The built-in silicone-treated kraft paper liner allows for easy die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes, making fabrication and customization straightforward for specific application requirements.
This versatile tape is widely used across aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) industries for applications including flat conveyor guide rails, 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 2-inch wide tape with 72-yard length, providing 12 mil total thickness for reliable performance in tough, demanding applications.
