• 3M Polyethylene Tape 5423. The 3M™ UHMW Tape 5423 uses a 0.025 mm clear multi-purpose acrylic adhesive providing a transparent double-sided tape. This extraordinary tape adheres to broad ranges of surfaces, including metals, plastics and wood. This 3M quality tape provides shear strength, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. The tape offers excellent abrasion resistance, making it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications. Application. The 3M™ UHMW 5423 can provide high strength and long-term durability through a general purpose rubber adhesive. It has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance to help a long wear life on the subject. Mounting on a paper liner it makes it ideal for die cutting to meet specific demands. Designed to be applied in applications that require a low level of friction and the movement of parts/materials. Features and Benefits. Translucent, abrasion resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear Rubber adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to the 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. FAQ's. Where would you use 3M™ PTFE tape?. The 3M™ PTFE tape can be used when fitting compression joints and is widely used by plumbers and DIY enthusiasts on radiator valves and taps. Designed to be applied in applications that require a low level of friction and the movement of parts/materials. How much PTFE tape to use?. To create a good seal wrap the tape around the components several times to create a better seal.
