3M 7100041894 Uhmw Film Tape 5425 Transparent 6in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100041894 is a ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene film tape designed for noise reduction, vibration dampening, and surface protection in demanding trade and industrial applications. The tape features a 4.5 mil UHMW polyethylene film backing bonded with a solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive. Its low coefficient of friction combined with strong abrasion resistance makes it well-suited for applications where parts slide, rub, or contact each other repeatedly. Each roll measures 6 inches wide by 36 yards long and weighs 2.78 pounds.

This tape is commonly applied in HVAC, mechanical, and light industrial settings where metal, plastic, or composite surfaces require protection from wear, chafing, or contact noise. Typical use cases include lining ductwork edges, protecting sliding components, reducing rattle in panel assemblies, and serving as a wear surface on guides, chutes, and conveyor systems. The transparent film allows underlying surface markings or finishes to remain visible after application.

Key Features

• UHMW polyethylene film backing provides excellent abrasion and wear resistance
• Low coefficient of friction reduces noise and vibration at contact points
• Solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive maintains bond in chemically active environments
• Transparent film preserves visibility of surface markings beneath the tape
• 4.5 mil total thickness for durable, conformable coverage
• Large-format roll — 6 inches wide by 36 yards long — reduces splicing on extended runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface protection and anti-friction tape suitable for use on metal, plastic, and composite substrates in HVAC, mechanical, and industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean the substrate free of oil, dust, and moisture before application to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape width using a roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets and maximize bond strength. In HVAC or mechanical panel applications, power down and de-energize equipment before applying tape near moving components or electrical enclosures. Follow all applicable facility safety and maintenance procedures when working on pressurized or energized systems.
