3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is a transparent UHMW polyethylene film tape with an acrylic adhesive. It is commonly used to control squeaks and rattles due to vibration or wear of metal and plastic parts.

  • UHMW polyethylene backing reduces and helps eliminate noise and vibration
  • Low coefficient of friction for applications requiring slick surface
  • High-tack acrylic adhesive provides strong initial bond for fast results and less down time
  • Excellent adhesion to many painted metal and plastic surfaces
  • Liner ideal for fabrication and die cutting into various lengths and shapes

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the purpose of 3M™ Squeak Reduction Tape 5430?

    The purpose of 3M™ Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is to reduce noise and vibration caused by friction between two surfaces. It provides a thin, flexible layer between surfaces that helps prevent squeaking and rattling.

  2. Is it easy to apply?

    Yes, it is very easy to apply. Simply cut the tape to size, peel off the backing paper, and stick it onto the surface you want to reduce noise or vibration on.

  3. How long will it last?

    The lifespan of 3M™ Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 depends on several factors such as temperature, humidity levels, exposure to oils or solvents etc., but generally speaking this tape has excellent durability compared with conventional tapes.

Helping Make Life a bit More Peaceful

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 Science Behind Our Tape

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.
