3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape made for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Its UPMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) thermoplastic backing enables its low-friction and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in demanding situations. The exceptional hardness and slick surface is ideal for maintaining a gliding, 'slip-plane' effect and reducing noises like squeaks and rattles. Furthering its workability, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is

  • INSTANTLY PROTECT SURFACES: Translucent, abrasion resistant backing protects surfaces from wear
  • VERY LOW-FRICTION: Low coefficient of friction creates a 'slip plane' effect between surfaces
  • POWERFUL ADHESIVE: Rubber adhesive creates instant adhesion on countless surfaces
  • REDUCE UNWANTED NOISE: Can help reduce buzz, squeaks, rattles, and other noises that occur with movement
  • MAKE DIFFICULT SURFACES SLIPPERY: Great in applications where lubrication is not possible because of contamination
  • BUILT-IN LINER: The peel-off liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various part-specific lengths, shapes, and sizes

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423?

    3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 is a transparent tape that has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it ideal for protecting surfaces from abrasion while allowing your product to slide easily over the top.

  2. What sizes and dimensions are available?

    This tape comes in rolls that are 24 inches wide by 36 yards long, with a thickness of 12 mils. It's also sold one roll per case.

  3. Where can I use this type of tape?

    You can use this high-performance film tape on many surfaces such as plastics, metals, and other materials where protection is essential. Plus its transparency allows visual inspection without having to remove the tape or cover-ups.

  4. Is it possible to cut this type of Tape?

    Yes! The great thing about our UHMW Film Tape is that you can custom-cut it based on your project needs. Simply grab some scissors or blade cutter and cut any shape you want regardless how complex its design maybe.

  5. Is there an easier way to apply the Tapes for longer pieces covering larger areas?

    A : Absolutely! We recommend using either hand-held dispensers or automated equipment designed specifically for laminating in the industrial settings. By using those tools like automatic die Cutting System Bobst MasterCut flatbed die-cutter saves time while enhancing accuracy within +0.1mm tolerances so cuts through silicone films with liner release paper become more efficient thus freeing-up production lines quickly.

An Effective Solution for Many Noise and Vibration Problems

3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a reliable solution for controlling squeaks and rattles caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials in general industrial applications. This tape is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) film, which provides excellent abrasion resistance and chemical resistance, ensuring a long wear life. The tape is mounted on a liner, making it easy to die-cut for specific applications. It is ideal for applications requiring a low coefficient of friction and the movement of parts and/or materials. This slick surface tape is primarily used in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.

Recommended Applications
  • Flat conveyor guide rails and chutes
  • Spray booth liners
  • Tank and bin liners
  • Drawer and cabinet slides
  • Protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses
The Science Behind Our Tape

The effectiveness of 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 lies in its Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) backing. UHMW-PE is a thermoplastic that has a unique combination of properties, such as exceptional hardness and low surface energy. The ultra-high molecular weight of this tape significantly reduces friction to create an effective solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE is greater than PTFE and increases as the molecular weight increases.

The durability and versatility of UHMW-PE are used by designers and engineers in many industries worldwide. UHMW-PE based products offer a host of exceptional attributes that include high abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, and one of the highest impact strength ratings of any thermoplastic. These attributes make them ideal for tough impact wear or sliding applications. The low coefficient of friction characteristic is surpassed only by PTFE; however, UHMW-PE tape has superior abrasion resistance. Our exceptional science and engineering of products provide long-lasting performance and successful solutions.
