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

What is the main feature of 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423?

The main feature of the tape is its very high abrasion resistance.
Can I use this tape for outdoor applications?

Yes, you can! This tape can work well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Is it easy to apply this tape?

Yes! Its pressure-sensitive adhesive makes application quick and easy.
How long does it take for the adhesive to settle completely after application?

The adhesive typically takes about 48 hours to achieve full adhesion, but an initial bond may be achieved much quicker depending on your specific application conditions.

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 that require a low coefficient of friction and the movement of parts and/or materials. The aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries primarily use this slick surface tape.

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 UHMW-PE backing. UHMW-PE is a thermoplastic with exceptional hardness and low surface energy, making it an ideal solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The ultra-high molecular weight of this tape significantly reduces friction, making it an effective solution for many noise and vibration problems. The abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE is greater than PTFE and increases as the molecular weight increases.

Designers and engineers worldwide use the extraordinary durability and versatility of UHMW-PE in many industries. UHMW-PE based products offer 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. Although the low coefficient of friction characteristic is surpassed only by PTFE, UHMW-PE tape has superior abrasion resistance. Our exceptional science and engineering of products provide long-lasting performance and successful solutions.
