Low Friction 3M 5421 UHMW Film Tape for Chutes and Drawer Slides

3M 5421 UHMW film tape uses special UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) as its carrier material and is coated with rubber adhesive. UHMW-PE, a thermoplastic, boasts a remarkable ‘slip plane’ effect that effectively reduces squeaks, rattles, and other noises associated with movement. The rubber adhesive ensures good initial tack for immediate bonding to material surfaces, and the liner can be customized in various sizes and shapes. All these properties make 3M 5421 tape an optimal choice for demanding impact wear or sliding scenarios. Additionally, 3M 5421 tape is the thinner version of 3M 5423 tape.

Low Friction 3M 5421 UHMW Film Tape for Chutes and Drawer Slides

Features & Benefits:

1. Can be applied as a protective, abrasion resistant UHMW polyethylene surface

2. Excellent abrasion resistance, surpassing many PTFE and other materials in wear

3. Ideal for protecting surfaces used with impact or sliding applications

4. Low friction surface

5. High energy absorption for sound damping

6. Liner allows for easy fabrication or die-cutting into various shapes and sizes

7. Thick UHMW polyethylene tape offers extended service life as a protective surface against severe wear

8. 3M 5421 tape is the thinner version of 3M 5423 tape
