UHMW-PE Super Wear Resistant Plastic Rod

Why choose UHMW Super Wear Resistant Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out performing most other plastic materials in some function. With nearly ten times higher molecular weight in comparison with common HDPE resins, you can see why UHMW-PE would be the obvious choice for tough wear type installations. 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 is known for its wear resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works very well with most machining and fabrication processes. Some very common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, wear resistant strips, wear plates, and shims. This is partly why Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has grown and continues to grow in its popularity.
