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

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 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.
