Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a "slip plane" effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features outstanding chemical resistance and a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.

  • Translucent, abrasion resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
  • Low coefficient of friction for “slip plane” effect between surfaces
  • Solvent and oil resistant adhesive provides high adhesion and chemical resistance in the most demanding applications
  • Can help reduce squeaks, rattles and other noises that occur with movement
  • Used in applications where lubrication is not possible because of contamination
  • Liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes

An Effective Solution for Many Noise and Vibration Problems

3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a versatile solution commonly used in various industrial applications to control squeaks and rattles caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. This film tape, made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE), offers excellent chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, ensuring a long wear life. It is conveniently mounted on a liner, allowing for easy die-cutting to meet specific application requirements. The tape is particularly suitable for applications that demand increased chemical resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and the smooth movement of parts and materials. It finds extensive use in industries such as aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations).

Recommended Applications
  • 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 5425 lies in its unique Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) backing. UHMW-PE is a thermoplastic with exceptional hardness and low surface energy. The ultra-high molecular weight of this tape significantly reduces friction, making it an ideal solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE surpasses that of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and 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, a low coefficient of friction, and one of the highest impact strength ratings among thermoplastics. These qualities make them perfect for applications involving tough impact wear or sliding. While UHMW-PE tape has a slightly lower coefficient of friction compared to PTFE, it excels in abrasion resistance. Our products are backed by exceptional science and engineering, ensuring long-lasting performance and successful solutions.
