G3 Single Coated Tapes Slick Surface Tapes With Low Friction

Slick Surface Tapes With Low Friction

Formulated for applications involving wear and manipulation - they reduce friction, dampen noise and prevent chemical degradation.

3M™  slick surface tapes include two similar groups of products, each with specific features. PTFE tapes offer outstanding resistance to  extreme temperatures and have the lowest friction coefficient.

UHMW-PE tapes are similar to PTFE tapes in terms of their slickness and friction coefficient but have been specially formulated for extreme abrasion resistance.

 

 

 

3M PTFE tapes: 3M UHMW-PE tapes:
  • low coefficient of friction
  • outstanding heat resistance
  • non-adhesive
  • chemical resistance
  • conformability
  • abrasion resistance
  • low coefficient of friction
  • non-adhesive
