3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape made for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Its UPMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) thermoplastic backing enables its low-friction and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in demanding situations. The exceptional hardness and slick surface is ideal for maintaining a gliding, ‘slip-plane’ effect and reducing noises like squeaks and rattles. Furthering its workability, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is mounted on a liner, allowing the user to die-cut shapes to exact specifications. Between its low-friction coefficient, built-in liner, and long-lasting protection, this slick-surfaced tape excels in the aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.

Scotch Filament Tape 8915 is a reliable solution for holding parts and consumer goods throughout the manufacture and shipping timeline. Constructed with a filament-reinforced polypropylene backing, this tape resists abrasion, moisture, scuff and break, even after being nicked or punctured. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive offers high adhesion, stain resistance, and clean removal on materials commonly used in appliances. Between its sturdy reinforced construction, user-friendly adhesive, and versatile shipment preparation capabilities, Scotch Filament Tape 8915 is the ideal tape for many temporary holding and attachment applications.

With a polypropylene backing and glass yarn reinforcement, Scotch Filament Tape 8981 resists abrasion, moisture, scuffing and breaks.
