Demo summary • A stainless steel strip is tested first with the bare metal surface facing up. • A coin placed on the inclined bare stainless steel surface stays in place. • The strip is flipped to expose the side covered with 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423. • At the same angle, the coin slides immediately on the UHMW tape surface. Product highlights • Excellent abrasion resistance for demanding wear and sliding applications. • Low-friction UHMW polyethylene backing helps surfaces move with less resistance. • Thick-caliper construction supports extended service life as a protective surface. • Anti-stick and release properties help reduce unwanted build-up. • Rubber adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding. • Can be used where lubricants are not suitable because of contamination concerns. Observed results • The coin does not move on the bare stainless steel surface in the demonstrated incline setup. • The coin slides immediately when placed on the 3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5423 surface. • The demo shows the difference between a bare metal contact surface and a low-friction UHMW tape surface. • The 5423-lined surface provides smoother sliding in the demonstrated comparison. Why it matters • Smoother sliding can help reduce drag in conveyor and material handling systems. • Low-friction surfaces can support movement across chutes, guide rails, blades, slides, and discharge areas. • Abrasion-resistant tape can help protect surfaces exposed to repeated contact. • Die-cutting flexibility helps teams adapt the tape to specific contact points, shapes, and wear zones. • Low-friction contact surfaces can support applications where lubrication is not practical.
