3M 7010337634 Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010337634 is a squeak reduction tape built on an ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene film with an acrylic adhesive backing. At 7.0 mil thick and 2 inches wide on a 72-yard roll, it delivers a low coefficient of friction surface that reduces noise caused by contact between metal and plastic components. Automotive technicians and assembly professionals apply it directly to surfaces prone to vibration-induced squeaks and rattles. The UHMW film also provides strong abrasion resistance, extending the service life of the components it protects.

This tape is used in automotive assembly and service environments to address squeaks and rattles where dissimilar materials meet under vibration or load. It is well suited for door panels, trim pieces, and other interior components where metal-to-plastic or plastic-to-plastic contact creates unwanted noise. It can also be applied in light industrial settings where low-friction wear protection is needed on sliding or rubbing surfaces.

Key Features

• Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene film construction for low friction and long wear life
• Acrylic adhesive for reliable bonding to metal and plastic substrates
• 7.0 mil total thickness provides durable cushioning and abrasion resistance
• 2 inches wide by 72 yards per roll for extended coverage per roll
• Transparent film minimizes visual impact on finished surfaces
• Designed to reduce vibration-induced squeaks and rattles in automotive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style noise and friction reduction solution for automotive interior trim, door panels, and other assemblies where metal and plastic components contact each other under vibration or movement.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean and dry the target substrate thoroughly to ensure full adhesive contact. Cut tape to the required length before removing the liner, and apply firm pressure across the full tape width to eliminate air pockets. No special tools are required, but a roller or squeegee improves bond consistency on irregular surfaces.
