Low Friction Plastic Strips

This special uhmw ultra high molecular weight adhesive backed flexible plastic film has a low coefficient of friction and a high abrasion resistance that surpasses even teflon.

Low friction plastic strips.

Applications include uhmw wear strips chain guides packaging machinery parts and marine dock fender pads. This special uhmw ultra high molecular weight adhesive backed flexible plastic film has a low coefficient of friction and a high abrasion resistance that surpasses even teflon. Multipurpose plastic selector packs. Heavy duty low friction tape made with teflon ptfe a strong thick layer of teflon ptfe makes this tape tougher than standard low friction tape made with teflon ptfe.

Is uhmw right for your next project. Slick strips reduce friction to the point where almost everything moves like it s mounted on ball bearings. They are used in conveyors across a range of industries from food processing to semi conductor manufacturing. With a slippery surface it minimizes friction between parts and is often used on conveyor rails chutes and guides.

It is extremely stable in temperatures ranging from 220o f down to cryogenic lows. The nominal 3 4 width is perfect for renewing the smooth run of worn wooden drawers. Slippery uhmw polyethylene in addition to a low friction surface that prevents sticking and binding this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs scrapes and strikes that other plastics can t. Slick strip has a long list of properties that make it ideal for applications in a wide range of fields.

Delrin low friction grades allow for a longer lifetime of chains and wear strips smooth sliding of goods quieter motion and lubrication free operations. Delrin is also used in car doors by automaker bmw. Also known as skived tape this low friction tape stretches to conform to irregular surfaces. This special uhmw ultra high molecular weight adhesive backed flexible plastic film has a low coefficient of friction and a high abrasion resistance that surpasses even teflon.

While the standard steel car door check is lubricated with grease to allow it to move freely it requires routine maintenance and leaves marks on garments that come in. Slick strips are 1 32 thick. Made of plastic it s also chemical resistant. In addition to a low friction surface that prevents sticking and binding this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs scrapes and strikes that other plastics can t.

Nominal 10 foot length rolls are easily cut to length. It combines the greatest impact strength of any thermoplastic with a low coefficient of friction and tremendous abrasion resistance. The 3 4 width is perfect for renewing the smooth run of worn wooden drawers 10 5 rolls are easily cut to length slick strips are 1 32 thick.
