About UHMWPE

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is an exceptionally tough engineering plastic with outstanding wear and abrasion resistance. Its combination of extreme toughness, self-lubricating surface and chemical resistance makes it the preferred choice for high-wear liners, conveyor components, marine fendering and mining equipment.

Properties

  • Extreme wear resistance — 10x that of HDPE
  • Self-lubricating — low coefficient of friction
  • Impact resistant even at sub-zero temperatures
  • Chemical resistant to most acids and alkalis
  • Food safe — FDA approved

Available Forms

Sheet, rod and custom machined components. Natural, black, green and blue grades available.
