UHMW Polyethylene Best Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod

Why choose UHMW-PE Ultra Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out performing almost all other plastic materials in many areas. With a ten times greater molecular weight when compared with conventional HDPE resin, you can see why UHMW-PE would be the obvious choice for tough wear type installations. Of all the polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer. This material also has a very high impact strength, chemical resistant, extremely wear resistant and a very low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works very well with most machining and fabrication processes. Some of the most common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, wear strips, wear plates, and shims. This is why Ultra High Molecular Weight PE has grown in its many uses.
