3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is a highly effective solution used in the automotive industry to control squeaks and rattles caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. This tape is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) film, which offers excellent chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, ensuring a long wear life. The tape is conveniently mounted on a liner, allowing for easy die-cutting to meet specific application requirements. It is particularly suitable for applications that require a low coefficient of friction and the movement of parts and/or materials.
Recommended Applications- Noise reduction on automotive instrument panels and interiors
- Noise reduction between rim fascia and painted metal
- Noise reduction on doors
- Protection of plastic and metal chutes, guide rails, and containers from wear
- Industrial sliding or wear applications
The effectiveness of 3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 lies in its Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) backing. UHMW-PE is a thermoplastic with exceptional hardness and low surface energy, making it an ideal material for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The tape's UHMW-PE backing significantly reduces friction, providing a reliable solution. Moreover, UHMW-PE has superior abrasion resistance compared to PTFE, and its resistance increases with higher molecular weight.
Designers and engineers worldwide rely on the extraordinary durability and versatility of UHMW-PE in various industries. UHMW-PE-based products offer exceptional attributes, including high abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, and one of the highest impact strength ratings among thermoplastics. These qualities make UHMW-PE tape ideal for demanding impact wear or sliding applications. While PTFE surpasses UHMW-PE in terms of coefficient of friction, UHMW-PE tape excels in abrasion resistance. Our commitment to exceptional science and engineering ensures long-lasting performance and successful solutions.
