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® 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
