## Overview

APT UHMW Polyethylene Tape features a 5 mil thick ultra-high molecular weight backing that delivers superior abrasion resistance and one of the highest impact strengths among thermoplastics. Its low friction surface reduces noise and wear, while the acrylic adhesive ensures a strong bond on metal, wood, and plastic surfaces. Ideal for sliding applications, this tape is a professional-grade solution trusted worldwide for durability and performance.

## Description

The effectiveness of UHMW tape lies in its Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) backing. UHMW-PE is a thermoplastic that has a unique combination of properties, such as exceptional hardness and low surface energy. The ultra-high molecular weight of this tape significantly reduces friction to create an effective solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. The abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE is greater than Teflon drawer tape, PTFE drawer tape and Nylon drawer tape. The extraordinary durability and versatility of UHMW-PE is used by designers and engineers in many industries worldwide. UHMW-PE based products offer a host of exceptional attributes that include high abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and one of the highest impact strength ratings of any thermoplastic. These attributes make them ideal for tough impact wear or sliding applications. The low coefficient of friction characteristic is surpassed only by PTFE; however, UHMW-PE tape has superior abrasion resistance. Our exceptional science and engineering of products provide long-lasting performance and successful solutions.Product Description

Review: Very good - Got this to put under the edges of timber draws to they would run smoothly and it worked perfectly. Got a second roll to finish the whole dresser.
Review: Bonne adhésion sur support et très glissant sur l'autre face - Je l'ai acheté pour faire des glissières de capot de roof sur un petit voilier

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how thick is backing vs tape?**
A: Hi,
Thank you for your interest in our tapes.
The backing thickness for this product is 10mil, and total is 12.8mil.

**Q: Would this work on an old dresser where the drawers stick and don't have rails/runners?**
A: This is like applying tape to a flat surface. The surfaces in contact should be smooth and flat for good adhesion. So if there is sufficient smooth, flat surface to apply the tape to, it will definitely greatly reduce the contact friction. The UHMW tape has a very low friction surface. Apply to both contacted surfaces if you can. You may need to trim the width of the UHMW tape to fit. The tape is very thin, 5 mil - the thickness of a piece of paper, so it shouldn't impact the fitting of the drawers.

**Q: What is the difference between 5 mil uhmw and 10 mil uhmw?**
A: 5 mil=.005" of an inch in thickness.--10 mil= .010" of an inch in thickness.

Therefore, 10 mil is twice as thick as 5 mil thickness wise. Hope this helps!

**Q: can this be used in salt water?**
A: UHMWPE/GO composites are suitable for using in seawater environments.Mar 15, 2018
