UHMW - Rod

UHMW is a tough, wear resistant plastic that combines an incredibly low coefficient of friction with outstanding impact strength. UHMW is available in sheet, rod, and tube.

UHMW: This self-lubricating polymer has excellent chemical resistance and a broad temperature range making it the perfect choice for engineers in a variety of industries such as conveyor and bulk material handling. This self-lubricating polymer has been engineered to achieve an extremely high impact strength so that it will not break or shatter.
