UMHW-5A - UHMW Polyethylene Tapes

Is a 36 yard, 5 Mil Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene Tape with an aggressive acrylic adhesive wound on a 2.8 mil white paper liner. Its high chemical and abrasion resistance and extremely low coefficient of friction makes this a versatile engineering material for many severe service applications. Materials slide freely over tape surface with no slip/stick tendency. High impact strength and shock absorbing properties.

Outwears Teflon™ and is a good replacement when high temperature resistance is not a requirement

Used primarily in automotive and mechanical applications
