3M 5423 UHMW Polyethylene Tape

This product combines a unique set of properties, making it ideal for demanding impact wear and sliding applications. It creates a slip-plane effect that allows contact without wear and supports smooth movement in situations where a low coefficient of friction is essential.

Offering exceptional abrasion resistance that outwears PTFE and many other materials, it shows no evidence of wear even after 1,000 cycles of Taber Abrasion testing. With a low water vapor transmission rate of less than 0.50 g/100 in²/24 hrs, it performs reliably in environments where lubrication is not possible due to contamination. The rubber adhesive provides strong initial tack for immediate bonding, and the liner makes it easy to fabricate or die-cut into a variety of lengths and shapes.
