UHMW Polyethylene is a tough and abrasion Resistant Sheet Plastic
Picking UHMW-PE Best Wear Resistant
Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out
performing the other plastic materials in some
areas. With almost a ten times
greater molecular weight in comparison with standard
HD Polyethylene
plastic materials, you can
certainly see why UHMW-PE would be the
better choice for tough wear type
installations. Of all the
polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any
thermoplastic polymer. In addition, it also has great impact strength,
chemical resistant, extremely wear resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. This
versatile material works extremely well with
almost all machining and fabrication
methods. Some of the most common
applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets,
wear resistant strips, wear plates, and shims.
This is
why UHMW-PE has continued to rise
in its many uses.
