403-15
UHMW Film



General Information
403-15 is a 15 mil, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) film with an aggressive elastomeric adhesive. The UHMW film provides an excellent low friction, non-stick surface, in many ways similar to PTFE. The film has a very high tensile strength and is very tough and abrasion resistant. These tapes are used primarily in mechanical applications such as chute liners, wear pads and guide rails. They are also used as glide surfaces or pads on such items as a computer mouse.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.


Choose the surface energy of the exact surface that the adhesive will contact (e.g. if the part was painted metal, paint would be the surface energy).
