Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with ultra-low friction, exceptional abrasion resistance, and powerful rubber adhesive for industrial sliding and wear applications. Features built-in liner for custom die-cutting.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a premium-grade polyethylene tape specifically 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 outstanding resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing creates an effective 'slip-plane' effect between surfaces while protecting them from wear, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal friction and easy movement of parts and materials.
The tape's exceptional hardness and slick surface provide superior performance in reducing unwanted noises such as squeaks, rattles, and buzzes that occur with mechanical movement and vibration. With a powerful rubber adhesive that creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces, this tape delivers reliable bonding performance across diverse substrate types. The built-in peel-off liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes, offering maximum flexibility for custom applications. The UHMW-PE backing provides greater abrasion resistance than PTFE while maintaining a low coefficient of friction surpassed only by PTFE itself.
This industrial-grade tape excels in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries where durability and performance are critical. It is commonly used for 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. With an 18-month shelf life and 18-yard roll length on each of the 3 rolls per case, this product offers exceptional value and long-lasting protection for demanding industrial applications.
