3M Gliding Foil, 19mm Width, 0.17mm Thickness - 21743
This gliding foil is a thin, low-friction tape designed to aid movement and reduce wear in material handling and assembly environments. Its transparent finish and glossy appearance make it suitable where Visual inspection is required while providing a sliding surface for components. The product operates across a wide thermal range and is intended for industrial settings where controlled glide and surface protection are needed.
Features & Benefits
• UHMW polyethylene backing lowers friction and extends service life
• Rubber-based adhesive offers firm initial tack and adhesion strength
• High tensile performance supports sustained lateral loads
• Exceptional elongation at break allows flexibility during application
• Thin construction minimises profile while preserving glide properties
• Heat resistance up to 107°C maintains performance under elevated temperatures
• Rubber-based adhesive offers firm initial tack and adhesion strength
• High tensile performance supports sustained lateral loads

What surface types will the adhesive bond to effectively?
The rubber adhesive provides reliable adhesion to many common substrates including metals and plastics, delivering a measured adhesion strength of 28 N/cm.
How does the tape cope with dynamic movement and stretching?
With an elongation at break of 275% the material tolerates significant deformation before failure, accommodating flexing during repetitive motion.
What are the dimensional and mechanical thickness characteristics?
The product is 0.17mm thick and delivers a tensile strength of 28 N/cm, offering a balance of thin profile and mechanical resilience.
How wide and long is the roll for typical installations?
The tape is supplied in a 19mm width on rolls of 16.5 m length to suit narrow-path applications.
Can the tape be used where Visual inspection of the substrate is needed?
Yes, the transparent glossy finish preserves visibility of underlying surfaces while providing a sliding interface.
