PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the purpose of 3M™ Squeak Reduction Tape 5430?
The primary function of the tape is to reduce or eliminate noise caused by vibration and friction between two parts.
-
Can this tape be used in outdoor applications?
Yes, it has excellent resistance against weathering, moisture and UV rays which makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
How transparent is the tape?
The tape is virtually clear, allowing visibility through it. This makes it ideal for applications where aesthetics are important
-
How long can I expect this tape to last once applied?
When properly applied, the durable adhesive should keep its grip for up to five years!
-
Are there any other sizes available than just 2 inches x 72 yards?
Yes! Although we offer a range of widths from as little as .375 inches wide up all the way up to 4.0 inches wide with varying lengths per roll depending on width!
3M™ Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is a UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) film tape that is commonly used in the automotive industry to control squeaks and rattles caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. This tape provides excellent abrasion resistance and good chemical resistance, ensuring a long wear life. It is mounted on a liner, making it easy to die-cut to meet the demands of specific applications. The tape is ideal for applications requiring 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 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 is 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.
