UHMW Best Wear Resistant Plastic Rod

Choosing UHMW Polyethylene Ultra Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out performing the other plastic materials in many properties. With a ten times greater molecular weight compared to standard High Density Polyethylene resins, you can certainly see why UHMW-PE would be the obvious choice for tough wear type applications. Out of all the polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer. On top of that, it also has outstanding impact strength, chemical resistant, and industry best ratings in wear resistant and a very low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works extremely well with most machining and fabrication methods. Some of the most common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, wear strips, wear plates, and shims. This is partly why Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has grown in its popularity.
