Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with low-friction backing, rubber adhesive, and built-in liner for industrial applications. Ideal for noise reduction, surface protection, and high-wear sliding applications in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
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 properties and superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration. The translucent, abrasion-resistant backing protects surfaces from wear while creating a 'slip-plane' effect that reduces squeaks, rattles, and other vibration-induced noises. With its powerful rubber adhesive providing instant adhesion on countless surfaces and a built-in silicone-treated kraft liner for easy die-cutting, this versatile tape excels in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries. The tape is ideal for applications requiring low coefficient of friction and smooth movement of parts and materials, including conveyor guide rails, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and aluminum sheet protection on stretch forming presses.
The exceptional hardness and slick surface of 3M UHMW Film Tape 5423 maintain optimal gliding performance and effectively reduce unwanted noises that occur with movement and vibration. Its UHMW-PE backing provides superior abrasion resistance that exceeds PTFE while maintaining lower friction coefficients, ensuring long-lasting protection in high-wear applications. The tape's chemical resistance and excellent durability make it suitable for tough impact wear and sliding scenarios where lubrication is not possible due to contamination concerns. Operating reliably across a wide temperature range from -34°C to 107°C (-30°F to 225°F), this industrial-grade tape delivers consistent performance in both extreme cold and heat environments.
Each case contains 18 rolls of 1/2 inch wide tape with 18 yards of coverage per roll, providing substantial material for large-scale industrial applications. The peel-off liner makes fabrication and die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes straightforward and efficient. With an 18-month shelf life from the date of manufacture and mounting on a 60# densified kraft paper with silicone treatment, this tape offers excellent workability and long-term storage stability. 3M UHMW Film Tape 5423 is engineered for industrial and occupational use only, meeting the stringent requirements of professional manufacturing, maintenance, and aerospace operations.
