Overview
UHMW tapes are a polyolefin film coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic or rubber adhesive. UHMW tapes exhibit excellent abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of friction, making it an excellent bearing or wear surface.
The high-temperature, high-tack acrylic adhesive adheres readily to most dry, clean surfaces - firmly anchoring the product in place.
UHMW tapes are used anywhere you need a friction-less surface or non-stick surface such as guide rails to reduce noise levels in glass bottling plants or desk drawers to provide smooth, friction free drawer movement.
