UHMW are slippery materials which resist abrasion and compression. Few products can adhere to them and their thermal expansion is superior to other thermoplastics. Relatively malleable, they are excellent electric insulators and they can be welded by a thermoplastic welding process. Models are available in colours and formats such as natural (white), antistatic, UV resistant autolubricating, recycled and high-temperature. In standard form, their heat resistance is 82 °C (180 °F).
UHMW Durasurf® Self Adhesive Tape is used everywhere where UHMW cannot be mechanically fastened and where friction causes premature wear on parts (wedges, guides, slides (channel), plates and wear pads, conveyor parts, work surfaces). It is frequently used on machinery, conveyors and buffing wheels.
UHMW Durasurf® Self Adhesive Tape is a FDA approved rubber based self-adhesive that has a low coefficient of friction. This material is popular due to its resistance to abrasion and chemicals. It is offered in natural and black colours as well as in several other custom colors.
UHMW Durasurf® Self Adhesive Tape is an ideal solution for several applications and no other product is currently available that can bond with UHMW.
UHMW Durasurf® Self Adhesive Tape is sold in standard and customized dimensions.
