- Translucent, abrasion resistant backing helps protect surfaces from wear
- Low coefficient of friction for “slip plane” effect between surfaces
- Rubber adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to material surface
- Can help reduce squeaks, rattles and other noises that occur with movement

Details
Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 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.
General purpose tape to protect plastic and metal chutes, guide rails and containers from wear
3M™ UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 (PDF, 166.41 Kb) 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.
