Why choose UHMW Polyethylene Super
Abrasion Resistant Plastic Sheet. UHMW-PE has been out
performing almost all other plastic materials in many
areas. With almost a ten times
greater molecular weight in comparison with standard
HDPE
resin, you can
certainly see why UHMW-PE would be the
best choice for tough wear type
installations. Out of all the
polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any
thermoplastic polymer. This
material also has outstanding impact strength,
chemical resistant, and industry best ratings in wear resistant and one of the lowest coefficient of friction. This
versatile material works well with
all standard machining and fabrication
methods. Some very common
applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets,
wear strips, wear plates, and shims.
This is
why Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene has grown and continues to grow
in its popularity.
