UHMW Film Tapes
UHMW Film Tapes
Taconic UHMW film tapes provide a tough low-friction surface for mechanical applications requiring wear resistance, abrasion resistance, and surface protection at lower operating temperatures.
UHMW adhesive tapes are often used on guide rails, chutes, wear strips, packaging equipment, material handling surfaces, and other areas where reduced friction and extended wear life are important.
For mechanical applications below 190°F / 90°C, UHMW film tape can provide strong wear performance and cost-effective surface protection.
