## Overview

APT UHMW Polyethylene Tape is a high-performance adhesive tape designed for superior surface protection. Measuring 0.5 inches by 5 yards with a thickness of 5 mils, it boasts exceptional abrasion resistance, low friction properties, and excellent adhesion to various materials, making it ideal for both professional and DIY applications.

## 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

## 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
