High-Bond Low-Friction UHMW Tape

Add a slippery surface to difficult-to-bond surfaces, such as plastic, foam, and powder-coated metal. UHMW provides a nonstick, low-friction surface with good abrasion and impact resistance.

VHB 4941 tape has an acrylic foam core for good conformability. The closed-cell foam restricts absorption.

Shock-Absorbing Low-Friction UHMW Tape

Line chutes, hoppers, and molds with this slippery tape. The UHMW facing provides a nonstick, low-friction surface, and foam reduces noise and vibration in chutes, bins, and similar delivery systems. Open-cell foam has cells that are connected, so gas, water, and air can absorb and pass through.

Glue-on-a-Roll

Apply this glue like tape for a no-mess alternative to liquid adhesives, hot melts, and staples. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.

467MP and 468MP resist solvents and UV rays.

9482PC and 9485PC bond well to slippery plastics. They're reinforced with fiber for stability.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Sheets, Bars, and Strips

In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t. These sheets, bars, and strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Film

Color: Off-White
Temperature Range: See Table
Tensile Strength: 5,500-6,000 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Durometer 65D (Medium)
For Use Outdoors: See Table
Specifications Met: See Table

Widely used as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear, this UHMW film has a slippery surface that prevents sticking. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.

For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.
