3M 7000029136 Uhmw Film Tape 4 in 18 Yd Clear

Product Description

The 3M 7000029136 is a UHMW (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) film tape designed for surface lining, wear protection, and friction reduction across industrial and trade applications. The tape measures 4 inches wide by 55 feet long and carries an 11.7 mil total thickness. A rubber adhesive system bonds the UHMW film to surfaces, delivering a tensile strength of 55 pounds per inch. The clear film resists abrasion and provides a low-friction surface on chutes, guides, conveyor components, and mechanical wear points. Operating temperature range runs from -30 degrees F to 225 degrees F, making it suitable for use in both cold storage and moderate-heat environments. Installers in maintenance, mechanical, and industrial service trades apply this tape where durable surface protection is required without fasteners or coatings.

This tape is used in lining and protecting applications where UHMW film is preferred over metal or plastic liners. Typical install scenarios include wear strips on conveyor guides, protective facing on chutes and hoppers, noise dampening on sliding components, and surface protection during fabrication or assembly. The 4-inch width suits broader coverage areas in a single pass. The roll format allows field cutting to length with standard utility tools, reducing material waste on irregular surfaces.

Key Features

• UHMW polyethylene film construction provides high abrasion resistance and low surface friction
• Rubber adhesive system bonds firmly to a wide range of substrates
• 11.7 mil thickness delivers durable wear protection in demanding environments
• Operating range of -30 degrees F to 225 degrees F supports cold storage and moderate-heat service
• Clear film maintains surface visibility and does not obscure markings or inspection points
• Tensile strength of 55 pounds per inch resists tearing during application and in service

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UHMW protective film tape suitable for lining and protecting metal, plastic, and composite surfaces in industrial and mechanical service environments.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying pressure-sensitive tape — clean the substrate with an appropriate solvent to remove oil, dust, and moisture before bonding. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape face using a roller or squeegee to ensure full adhesive contact. Cut to length with a sharp utility knife or shears. In low-temperature environments, allow the adhesive to reach ambient temperature before application to ensure proper bond formation.
