Roll of blue PO Tape

PO Tape is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW) film coated with an acrylic adhesive, used on sliding and wearing surfaces. Typical places are conveyor guide rails, chutes, and the rubbing faces of machine parts.

It suits cases where you want dry materials to slide more easily, or where you want to protect a surface that rubs. The material is chemically resistant, so disinfection and cleaning are straightforward. Please contact us to confirm whether it suits your operating conditions.

The base material is rated to 107 °C. Above that, or where release from adhesives and resins matters more, consider our PTFE-based tapes as well.
