I have an Incra miter fence with this plastic tape along the bottom that really helps it glide across the cast iron surface of my of table saw. I’d like to add it to another accessory I just got, but don’t know what to call it or what kind of search terms to use Any pointers?

I've bought it from woodworking supply stores (Rockler?) to help drawers glide smoothly

This is the stuff. I’m amazed they can get an adhesive backing to stick to this stuff.

To get adhesives to stick to uhmw plastics you heat treat (Propane flame) the surface for a few seconds first.

A lot of boats use uhmw plastic strips to make the companion way hatch slide easily. which is where I have replaced them.
