3M™ Film Tape, 18 yd L, 2 in W, 6.7 mil THK, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Film, Rubber

The effectiveness of 3M™ UHMW film tape 5421 lies in its UHMW backing. UHMW 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 this friction reducing tape is greater than PTFE and increases as the molecular weight increases. 3M™ UHMW film tape 5421 is a thin caliper, general purpose, polyethylene tape that creates a slip plane effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features a unique combination of properties that makes it ideal for many tough impact applications. 3M™ UHMW film tape 5421 is a thinner version of 3M™ UHMW film tape 5423.
Features
• Translucent, abrasion-resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
• Low coefficient of friction for slip plane effect between surfaces
• Rubber adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to material surface
• Can help reduce squeaks, rattles and other noises that occur with movement
• Used in applications where lubrication is not possible because of contamination
• Liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die cutting into various lengths and shapes
