UHMW PE provides a non stick, low-friction surface similar to PTFE tape but with much higher abrasion and puncture resistance. Ideal for chutes, packaging lines, slides, and anywhere that high-pressure sliding contact occurs. Also great for sound dampening. Eliminates squeaks and rattles caused by adjacent parts movement.
Uses:
- Automotive: Wear Strip, instrument panel and interior noise reduction.
- Noise reduction on doors
- Marine: Boat Bottoms, Rub Rails
- Agriculture: Box Liners
- Environmental: Scraper Blades, Chain Guides
- Food & Beverage: Belt Protectors, Bottling Lines
- Packaging Equipment
- Material Handling: Hopper & Chute Liners, Chain Guides
- Withstands sand, grit, and corrosion at sub-zero temperatures.
The tape has a film made of UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight) polyethylene and has .002" of acrylic adhesive.
Thanks to its extremely low coefficient of friction (0.14) UHMW PE tape easily outperforms steel in sliding applications. Its inherent lubricity minimizes the heat-generating friction, which gradually destroys steel parts, and ensures smooth, noiseless operation. Color is translucent.
Temperature range is -40° to +225°F. Film (not adhesive) FDA compliant for Food Contact. UHMW-PE tape can be used where lubrication is not possible because of contamination.
