Description
The UHMW Polyolefin Tape Series provides superior abrasion resistance, low friction, and high impact strength, making it an ideal engineering material for severe service applications. Available in 3 mil, 5 mil, 10 mil, 15 mil, and 20 mil thicknesses, these tapes are coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive for durable and versatile bonding.
Thanks to its low coefficient of friction, materials glide smoothly over the surface with no slip/stick tendency. These tapes outwear Teflon™ in most applications where high temperature resistance is not required, making them a cost-effective and high-performance alternative.
