Premium 3M UHMW polyethylene film tape with low friction slip plane effect, exceptional abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance for industrial noise reduction and surface protection applications.
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 an exceptional combination of properties including outstanding chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and superior abrasion resistance that exceeds PTFE performance. With its solvent and oil-resistant acrylic adhesive, this tape provides high adhesion and chemical resistance, making it ideal for the most challenging impact wear or sliding applications across aerospace, automotive, printing, and manufacturing industries.
The 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is specifically engineered for vibration damping and noise reduction applications where lubrication is not possible due to contamination concerns. Its translucent, abrasion-resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear while enabling visibility through the tape. The tape can effectively reduce squeaks, rattles, and other noises that occur with movement between incompatible surfaces. The product is mounted on a convenient liner that makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes to meet specific application requirements. With a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture and compliance with ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications, this tape delivers consistent, long-lasting performance.
Commonly used in conveyor guide rails, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and for protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses, the 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5425 is an effective solution for many noise and vibration problems in general industrial applications. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene backing provides exceptional hardness and low surface energy, significantly reducing friction while maintaining superior impact strength. This professional-grade industrial tape is intended for trained industrial and occupational customers for workplace use only, ensuring safety and compliance with applicable health and safety regulations.
