UHMW, also known as UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). It is categorized as an engineering material, and offers a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, a low-friction surface, and high impact strength. It will outlast metal, nylons and other engineering plastics under constant wear applications.
UHMW Applications:
-
- Conveyor guard rails
- Wear strips
- Shoes
- Conveyor wear strips
- Packaging machining components
- Food processing machining components
- Mechanical
- Bearings
- Component parts
