Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has high resistance to corrosion from chemicals and abrasive environments such as sand and slurries when compared to other thermoplastics. It also has exceptional impact resistance, even at cryogenic temperatures, and is superior to stainless steel. Other advantages include: low moisture absorption, good electrical and thermal insulation, FDA acceptance for natural (virgin) grades, self-lubrication and chemical inertness (except in some acids).

In machined and fabricated part form, their uses include applications in material handling, agricultural, power transmission and food processing machinery, as well as in medical devices, shipping and recreational equipment. Some excellent uses are as wear strips, chain guides, chute and hopper linings, bushings and truck bed liners.

UHMWPE shapes offered include; sheets, rods, tapes, machined & extruded profiles.
