Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a "slip plane" effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications. 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is a thinner version of 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423.

Translucent, abrasion resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
Low coefficient of friction for “slip plane” effect between surfaces
Rubber adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to material surface
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

PRODUCT FAQ

What is 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5421?

3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5421 is a clear, general-purpose tape that has an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
How big are the rolls of tape in each case?

Each case contains 2 rolls of tape. Each roll measures 6 inches by 18 yards and is 6.7 mil thick.
Where can I use this tape?

This versatile tape can be used for various applications such as surface protection, metal finishing, noise reduction, splicing paper or films among others.
Can I see through the tape once it's applied to my product？

：Yes，the transparency ensures visibility in certain applications making it easy working around edges and providing craftsmanship support
：Is this a permanent bond or could I easily remove it if needed?

：This is not specifically designed for temporary application but due its minimal peel adhesion bonding properties removal should leave uncovered surface unscathed

An Effective Solution for Many Noise and Vibration Problems

3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 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 to meet specific application demands. 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

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 3M™ 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.
