UHMW Polyethylene Film

Extremely high abrasion resistance, exceeding the abrasion resistance of steel. Coupled with broad chemical resistance and low coefficient of friction makes UHMW an extremely versatile engineering material for many severe service applications. Slippery like Teflon® Fluoropolymer, but super abrasion & wear resistant. UHMW Polymers have a molecular weight average 10 times that of conventional high density polyethylene resins. Higher molecular weight gives UHMW Polymers its unique combination of characteristics Applications: Inner and outer surfaces for potable water, chemical, fuel and hydraulic hoses, bottom surfaces for skis and snow boards, linings for chutes to decrease friction and wear. Automotive weather stripping. (Also available with adhesive, UHMW Tape)

The highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer
Outstanding impact strength even at very low temperatures
An excellent sliding material due to the low coefficient of friction
Self-lubricating (non-caking and sticking)
Sound dampening properties
Good chemical and stress cracking resistance
Easily machined
FDA and USDA approved

UHMW-PE THIN GAUGE (.003 to .020")
