The 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a "slip plane" effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features outstanding chemical resistance and a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.The 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is often used in general industrial applications to help control squeaks and rattles due to vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. This UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) film tape provides excellent chemical resistance and abrasion resistance that helps ensure a long wear life. 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is mounted on a liner, making it easy to die-cut to meet the demands of specific applications. It is ideal for applications requiring increased chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction and the movement of parts and/or materials. This slick surface tape is primarily used in aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries. Dispensable and appropriate for outdoor use.
abrasion resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
Can help reduce squeaks
Liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes
Low coefficient of friction for “slip plane” effect between surfaces
rattles and other noises that occur with movement
Solvent and oil resistant adhesive provides high adhesion and chemical resistance in the most demanding applications
Translucent
Used in applications where lubrication is not possible because of contamination
Waterproof and easily removable
