3M 5421

3M 5421 is a thin caliper general-purpose polyethylene tape that creates a "slip plane" effect to allow contact without wear.
This tape features a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications. 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is a thinner version of 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423.

• Color: Transparent
• Thickness: 0.17 mm
• Backing: Polyethylene
• Adhesive: Rubber

3M 5421 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 good chemical resistance and excellent abrasion resistance that helps ensure a long wear life.
3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is mounted on a liner, making it easy to die-cut to meet the demands of specific applications.
It is ideal for applications requiring 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.

• Translucent, abrasion-resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
• Low coefficient of friction for “slip plane” effect between surfaces
• Rubber adhesive provides a 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
• The liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes

• Conveyor guide rails and chutes
• Spray booth liners
• Tank and bin liners
• Drawer and cabinet slides
• Protecting aluminum sheets on stretch-forming presses
