6311-10-BL
6311-10-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 0.012″ (0.010″ substrate / 0.002″ adhesive). It delivers a typical peel adhesion of 70 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.

6311-10-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 0.012″ overall thickness, it is the heavier-gauge of the two available UHMW tape constructions and is designed for more demanding wear, abrasion, and chute lining applications where a thicker substrate provides additional protection.
The UHMW film carrier delivers low coefficient of friction along with abrasion and puncture resistance, making it well suited for chute lining, wear stripping, and chemically resistant surface protection.
The permanent acrylic adhesive system delivers a typical peel adhesion of 70 oz (ASTM D3330 Method A) with a minimum of 35 oz — a higher typical adhesion value than the 6311-05-BL — 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 6311-10-BL from 6311-05-BL?
6311-10-BL has a 0.010" UHMW substrate for a 0.012" overall thickness, versus 0.005" substrate and 0.007" overall for 6311-05-BL. The thicker substrate provides greater wear volume and is preferred for more demanding abrasion and chute lining environments. The 6311-10-BL also delivers a higher typical peel adhesion of 70 oz versus 50 oz for 6311-05-BL, with both grades sharing the same 35 oz minimum.
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. 6311-10-BL delivers a typical peel adhesion of 70 oz and a minimum of 35 oz (ASTM D3330 Method A), providing reliable bonding force to keep the wear-resistant UHMW surface secured in service without lifting or delamination under heavier mechanical loads.
What is the operating temperature range for 6311-10-BL?
The operating temperature range is -40°F to 150°F as listed on the TDS.
Is 6311-10-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 6311-10-BL be specified?
Specify grade (6311-10-BL), color (Blue), adhesive type (Permanent Acrylic), compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
