Premium 3M UHMW polyethylene film tape with low-friction slip plane effect for surface protection, noise reduction, and vibration damping in industrial applications. Transparent, 11 in x 18 yd, 5.1 mil thickness with acrylic adhesive.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5425 is a premium ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tape designed to protect surfaces from abrasion and wear in demanding industrial applications. This transparent, thin-caliper general-purpose polyethylene tape creates a unique "slip plane" effect that allows contact between surfaces without causing wear or damage. The tape features exceptional chemical resistance and a solvent and oil resistant acrylic adhesive that provides outstanding adhesion even in the most challenging environments.
This versatile UHMW-PE film tape is ideal for automotive noise reduction, vibration damping, and surface protection applications across aerospace, automotive, printing, and manufacturing industries. With a low coefficient of friction that is surpassed only by PTFE, combined with superior abrasion resistance, this tape effectively reduces squeaks, rattles, and other noises caused by movement and vibration between incompatible surfaces. The tape's exceptional hardness and low surface energy create an effective solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements in conveyor systems, spray booth liners, tank liners, drawer slides, and cabinet applications.
The 11-inch width by 18-yard length roll features a 5.1-mil total thickness with a 3-mil polyethylene backing and is mounted on a convenient liner that makes it ideal for die-cutting into various lengths and shapes for specific application requirements. Operating effectively from -30°F to 225°F, this industrial-grade tape delivers long-lasting performance and reliable protection in applications where lubrication is not possible due to contamination concerns.
