Product Description
Product Construction
3M™ UHMW Polyethylene Tapes are film coated with a rubber adhesive which
provides an excellent abrasion resistant surface. These tapes feature 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.

Features
Tape demonstrated no evidence of wear through after Taber Abrasion at 1000
cycles, using CS-10 wheel and 1000g load when applied to S-37 mounting sheet.
Low water vapor transmission rate <0.50 g/100in.
2
/24hrs.
Thick caliper UHMW polyethylene tape for extended service life as a protective
surface against tough impact wear or sliding applications.
Outstanding abrasion resistance so will outwear PTFE and other materials in
sliding applications.
Low coefficient of friction characteristics is exceeded only by PTFE.
UHMW-PE tape can be used where lubrication is not possible because of
contamination.
Rubber Adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to material
surface.
Liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes.
Noise reduction between dissimilar parts.
Reduce squeaks, rattles and other noises that occur with movement
Lining of conveyer guide rails, tank and bin liners, and discharge chutes.
Protection for aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses.
Liners for Spray booths.
Slick surface for easy glide for drawers and cabinets.
