Premium 3M UHMW Film Tape 5423 offers superior low-friction protection with abrasion resistance for industrial sliding and noise reduction applications. Transparent polyethylene backing with rubber adhesive, ideal for aerospace, automotive, and MRO industries.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a premium-grade, thick polyethylene tape specifically engineered for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications in demanding industrial environments. This professional-grade tape features Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing that delivers exceptional low-friction performance and superior chemical resistance. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing creates an effective 'slip-plane' effect between surfaces, making it ideal for applications requiring reduced friction and noise control. With dimensions of 5/8 inch width by 18 yards length and 12 mil thickness, this tape comes in a convenient 12 roll per case format, perfect for bulk industrial applications.
The exceptional hardness and slick surface of 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 makes it an effective solution for controlling squeaks, rattles, and vibration-related noises in metal and plastic material applications. The tape features a powerful rubber adhesive that creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces, ensuring reliable performance across diverse substrates. Its built-in 60# densified kraft paper liner with silicone treatment allows for easy die-cutting into custom shapes and sizes for specific application requirements. The low coefficient of friction, combined with excellent abrasion resistance that exceeds PTFE performance, ensures long-lasting durability in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.
This industrial-grade tape operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -30°F to 225°F (-34°C to 107°C), making it suitable for both extreme cold and heat applications. With an 18-month shelf life from date of manufacture and 520% elongation at break, the tape provides flexibility and durability for complex fabrication requirements. The adhesion strength of 26 oz/in ensures secure bonding, while the transparent color allows for aesthetic applications where visibility is important. Recommended for flat conveyor guide rails, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses.
