Choosing UHMW Super Wear Resistant
Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out
performing almost all other plastic materials in some
properties. With a ten times
greater molecular weight when
compared with normal
HD Polyethylene
resin, you can see how UHMW-PE would be the
obvious choice for tough wear type
jobs. Of all the
polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any
thermoplastic polymer. In addition, it also has a very high impact strength,
chemical resistant, and is known for its wear resistant and a
very low coefficient of friction. This
versatile material works very well with
almost all machining and fabrication
processes. Some typical and common
applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets,
abrasion resistant strips, wear plates, and shims.
This is
why Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene has grown
in its popularity.
