3M 7100008965 Uhmw Film Tape 5425 Transparent 24x36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100008965 is a UHMW (ultra-high-molecular-weight) polyethylene film tape rated at 4.5 mil thickness, bonded with a solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive. It ships in a 24-inch by 36-yard roll. The UHMW film backing delivers a low coefficient of friction alongside strong abrasion resistance, making it a practical solution for controlling noise and vibration at contact points in mechanical assemblies. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, and maintenance trades use this tape where sliding, rubbing, or wear surfaces need long-term protection without frequent replacement.

This tape is suited for both light commercial and industrial applications where parts experience repetitive motion or abrasion. Common install scenarios include lining chute surfaces, protecting wear points on conveyor guides, reducing rattle at panel edges or duct contact points, and shielding surfaces that slide against each other under load. The solvent-resistant adhesive maintains bond integrity in environments where cleaning agents or industrial fluids are present.

Key Features

• UHMW polyethylene film backing with low coefficient of friction reduces wear at sliding contact points
• 4.5 mil total thickness provides durable abrasion resistance without adding significant bulk
• Solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive holds in chemically active environments
• Transparent film allows visual inspection of underlying surfaces after application
• 24-inch width and 36-yard length suit wide-area coverage and high-volume jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective tape for mechanical wear surfaces, chute liners, conveyor guides, duct contact points, and similar abrasion-prone applications in residential and commercial trade settings.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean and dry the substrate thoroughly before application to achieve full adhesive contact. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape width using a roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets. In HVAC duct or panel applications, power down the system before working in confined spaces near moving components. Trim edges cleanly with a sharp utility knife to prevent lifting over time.
