Premium UHMW polyethylene film tape with exceptional abrasion resistance and low friction for noise reduction and surface protection in industrial applications
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5425 is a premium ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tape designed for industrial applications requiring superior surface protection and noise reduction. This transparent, thin-caliper general-purpose polyethylene tape creates a highly effective "slip plane" between incompatible surfaces, allowing contact without wear or damage. The tape features an acrylic adhesive system that provides exceptional chemical resistance, oil resistance, and solvent resistance, making it ideal for the most demanding industrial environments.
This specialized tape is engineered to reduce squeaks, rattles, and vibrations in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing applications. The low coefficient of friction characteristic of UHMW-PE backing ensures smooth surface interaction while the abrasion-resistant properties provide long-lasting performance that exceeds PTFE in durability. The translucent backing allows visibility while protecting surfaces from mechanical wear, making it perfect for conveyor systems, drawer slides, and protective applications where contamination prevents traditional lubrication methods.
The 5425 model comes in a convenient 12-inch width by 36-yard length roll with 5.1 mil total thickness, packaged as 1 roll per case. The liner backing makes the tape ideal for fabricating and die-cutting into various lengths and shapes for custom applications. With a shelf life of 18 months from manufacture and compliance with ASTM D3330, D3652, and D3759 specifications, this tape delivers consistent, reliable performance across aerospace, automotive, electronics, and general industrial sectors.
