3M 5423 UHMW Polyethylene Tape

5423

3M™ Polyethylene Tape 5423 is an industrial grade tape product that can be applied as a protective, abrasion resistant UHMW polyethylene surface. Featuring a low friction surface, this product is ideal for application over sliding surfaces. This product is characterized by a high energy absorption that can contribute to sound damping.

  • 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
Color: Translucent
Liner Material: 60# Densified Kraft, Silicone Treated Paper
Backing/Carrier Material: UHMW - PE Film (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
Adhesive Type: Rubber
TotalThickness: 12 mil
