Low water vapor transmission rate <0.50 g/100in.2/24hrs. Thick caliper UHMW polyethylene tape for extended service life as a protective surface against tough impact wear or sliding applications. Outstanding abrasion resistance so will outwear PTFE and other materials in sliding applications. Low coefficient of friction characteristics is exceeded only by PTFE. UHMW-PE tape can be used where lubrication is not possible because of contamination. Rubber Adhesive provides good initial tack for immediate bonding to material surface. Liner makes it ideal for fabricating or die-cutting into various lengths and shapes. Application Ideas Noise reduction between dissimilar parts. Reduce squeaks, rattles and other noises that occur with movement Lining of conveyer guide rails, tank and bin liners, and discharge chutes. Protection for aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses. Liners for Spray booths. Slick surface for easy glide for drawers and cabinets. Storage Store under normal conditions of 60 to 80F (16 to 27C) and 40 to 60% relative humidity in the original packaging material. Shelf Life To obtain best performance, use this product within 18 months from date of manufacture.
