Polyethylene

Each tape product offers excellent abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, high impact strength and high performance properties people have come to expect from UHMW. By providing this exceptional material with an adhesive backing, installation time and costs are significantly reduced. No need for bolts or fasteners, no need to countersink. As a matter of fact, DuraSurf™ ETA also reduce scrap by 75%. When a standard 1/4" thick sheet of UHMW is installed using the traditional mechanical fastening method, 3/16" of the material is lost to the bolt head. This leave only a 1/16" usable wear surface. You can achieve the same result with a 1/16" DuraSurf™ ETA tape product and eliminate 80% of the time and cost associated with traditional installation methods. Crown Plastics offers a wide range of both rubber and acrylic based adhesive systems to meet virtually any application requirement.
