Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with ultra-low friction, superior abrasion resistance, and instant adhesion. Transparent 12-mil backing ideal for industrial sliding, wear protection, and noise reduction applications across aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing sectors.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a premium thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape engineered for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Featuring Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) thermoplastic backing, this advanced tape delivers exceptional low-friction performance with outstanding resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in the most demanding industrial situations. The transparent, translucent backing provides instant surface protection while maintaining visibility of underlying materials.
This professional-grade tape combines exceptional hardness and a slick surface finish ideal for maintaining a gliding 'slip-plane' effect and effectively reducing operational noises such as squeaks and rattles. With a rubber adhesive that creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces, the tape delivers reliable performance across diverse substrates and applications. The built-in silicone-treated kraft liner enables precision die-cutting into custom shapes and part-specific lengths, making fabrication simple and efficient for specialized requirements.
Designed for aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries, this UHMW-PE film tape excels in applications requiring superior low-friction coefficients and smooth material movement. The 12-mil thickness provides robust protection against wear while the 0.25-inch width accommodates precise application requirements. With 18 yards per roll and 32 rolls per case, this industrial-strength solution offers exceptional value for high-volume production environments. Operating reliably between -30°F and 225°F, this tape maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes.
