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

- Protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses
The effectiveness of 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 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 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, low coefficient of friction, and one of the highest impact strength ratings among thermoplastics. These qualities make them perfect for demanding impact wear or sliding applications. 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.
