Helping Make Life a bit More Peaceful

3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is a highly effective solution used in the automotive industry to control squeaks and rattles caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. This tape is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) film, which offers excellent chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, ensuring a long wear life. The tape is conveniently mounted on a liner, allowing for easy die-cutting to meet specific application requirements. It is particularly suitable for applications that require 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 with exceptional hardness and low surface energy, making it an ideal material for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The tape's UHMW-PE backing significantly reduces friction, providing a reliable solution. Moreover, UHMW-PE has superior abrasion resistance compared to PTFE, and its resistance 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 UHMW-PE tape ideal for demanding impact wear or sliding applications. While PTFE has a lower coefficient of friction, UHMW-PE tape surpasses it in terms of abrasion resistance. Our commitment to exceptional science and engineering ensures long-lasting performance and successful solutions.
