3M 7010333735 Uhmw Film Tape 5421 Transparent 5in X 18yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010333735 is a UHMW polyethylene film tape designed for surface protection and friction reduction in industrial and commercial applications. The 5.0 mil translucent backing is bonded with a rubber adhesive and supplied on a paper liner, resulting in a roll that measures 5 inches wide by 18 yards long at a total caliper of 6.7 mil. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene face delivers a low coefficient of friction alongside strong abrasion resistance, making it well suited for surfaces that see repeated sliding contact or mechanical wear. Maintenance technicians, equipment installers, and facilities professionals apply this tape where a durable, low-friction surface layer is needed without adding bulk or requiring machined wear inserts.

This tape is applied to plastic and metal chutes, guide rails, conveyor components, and containers that experience surface wear from product flow or repeated contact. It also serves as a practical solution for dampening noise and vibration at contact points between moving or stationary parts. The translucent finish keeps underlying surface markings or labels visible after application. It is used across manufacturing, packaging, and material-handling environments where reducing wear and friction extends equipment service life.

Key Features

• 5.0 mil UHMW polyethylene backing resists abrasion and repeated surface wear
• Low coefficient of friction reduces drag on chutes, rails, and guide surfaces
• Rubber adhesive on paper liner allows controlled, clean application
• Translucent finish preserves visibility of markings beneath the tape
• Total caliper of 6.7 mil provides a thin, conformable wear layer
• Helps reduce noise and vibration at mechanical contact points

Compatibility

Designed for use on plastic and metal chutes, guide rails, conveyor surfaces, and containers in industrial and commercial material-handling equipment where a low-friction, abrasion-resistant surface layer is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean the substrate thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before applying the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply firm, even pressure across the entire tape surface using a roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets and promote adhesion. Trim edges cleanly with a utility knife or tape cutter. Protective equipment should be used when working around moving machinery; lock out and tag out equipment before applying tape to internal chute or rail surfaces.
