6311-05-BL
6311-05-BL is a pressure sensitive tape constructed from UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) film with a permanent acrylic adhesive, at a nominal overall thickness of 0.007″ (0.005″ substrate / 0.002″ adhesive). It delivers a typical peel adhesion of 50 oz per ASTM D3330 Method A and operates across a temperature range of -40°F to 150°F. The film carrier provides low coefficient of friction combined with abrasion resistance and puncture resistance.

6311-05-BL is a single-sided, pressure sensitive tape constructed from a UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) film substrate completed with a permanent acrylic adhesive. At 0.007″ overall thickness, it is the thinner of two available UHMW tape constructions and is designed for applications requiring a low-friction, wear-resistant surface with reliable adhesive bonding.
The UHMW film carrier provides low coefficient of friction along with abrasion and puncture resistance, making the tape well suited for chute lining, wear stripping, and chemically resistant surface protection.
The permanent acrylic adhesive system delivers a typical peel adhesion of 50 oz (ASTM D3330 Method A) with a minimum of 35 oz, and is rated for service from -40°F to 150°F. Adhesive shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture when stored under appropriate conditions. The blue color provides visual identification and differentiation in service.
What differentiates 6311-05-BL from 6311-10-BL?
6311-05-BL has a 0.005" UHMW substrate for a 0.007" overall thickness, versus 0.010" substrate and 0.012" overall for 6311-10-BL. The thinner construction is selected where minimizing buildup or conforming to tighter clearances is required. The 6311-10-BL offers a higher typical peel adhesion of 70 oz versus 50 oz for 6311-05-BL, and greater substrate mass for more demanding wear applications.
Why is peel adhesion important for this application?
Peel adhesion determines whether the tape remains bonded to the substrate surface under the shear, vibration, and mechanical loading conditions present in chute lining, wear stripping, and conveyor applications. 6311-05-BL delivers a minimum peel adhesion of 35 oz (ASTM D3330 Method A), providing the baseline bonding force required to keep the wear-resistant UHMW surface secured in service without lifting or delamination.
What is the operating temperature range for 6311-05-BL?
The operating temperature range is -40°F to 150°F as listed on the TDS.
Is 6311-05-BL suitable for chemical-resistant environments?
The TDS states the tape functions well for applications involving chemical resistance, with the UHMW substrate providing the chemical-resistant barrier. No specific chemical resistance data or compliance certifications are listed on the manufacturer's TDS for this material.
How should 6311-05-BL be specified?
Specify grade (6311-05-BL), color (Blue), adhesive type (Permanent Acrylic), compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
