3M 7000050075 Uhmw Film Tape 5421 Transparent 1in X 18yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000050075 is a UHMW polyethylene film tape designed to reduce friction and protect surfaces from abrasion and wear. The 5.0 mil translucent UHMW polyethylene backing is coated with a rubber-based adhesive and supplied on a paper liner. At 6.7 mil total thickness, it delivers a durable protective layer on metal and plastic contact surfaces. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians apply this tape to high-wear surfaces where sliding contact, vibration, or repeated movement would otherwise cause surface degradation. It is commonly used in industrial and light commercial environments where a thin, low-friction barrier is needed without adding bulk or mechanical hardware.

This tape is suited for installation on chutes, guide rails, conveyor components, and containment surfaces in both commercial and light industrial settings. The low coefficient of friction reduces drag and noise generated by parts sliding against metal or plastic surfaces. It is also used to dampen vibration where two surfaces make repeated contact. HVAC, mechanical, and general maintenance technicians reach for this tape when addressing noise complaints tied to ductwork guides, blower housings, or sheet metal contact points.

Key Features

• 5.0 mil UHMW polyethylene backing provides abrasion and wear resistance
• Rubber adhesive bonds to plastic and metal surfaces without mechanical fasteners
• Low coefficient of friction reduces noise and vibration at sliding contact points
• Translucent appearance maintains surface visibility after application
• Paper liner for controlled, clean application in the field
• 1 inch wide by 18 yard roll for precision coverage on narrow rails and edges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective film tape for metal and plastic chutes, guide rails, and containers subject to sliding wear and surface abrasion.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying any pressure-sensitive tape — clean the substrate with an appropriate solvent to remove oils, dust, and loose material before applying. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape surface to ensure full adhesive contact. No special tools or licensed trade certification are required for application, though proper surface prep practices should follow facility maintenance standards.
