UHMW Polyethylene Best Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod

Choosing UHMW-PE Super Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod. UHMW-PE has been out performing almost all other plastic materials in some areas. With nearly ten times higher molecular weight in comparison with conventional High Density Polyethylene plastic materials, you can 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. On top of that, it also has outstanding impact strength, chemical resistant, extremely wear resistant and one of the lowest coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works very well with most machining and fabrication methods. Some very common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, wear strips, wear plates, and shims. These are some of the reasons Ultra High Molecular Weight PE has grown in its many uses.
