UHMW Polyethylene Best Abrasion Resistant Plastic Sheet

Choosing UHMW Polyethylene Super Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod. UHMW-PE has been out performing most other plastic materials in many function. With almost a ten times greater molecular weight when compared with conventional HD Polyethylene resin, you can see why UHMW-PE would be the better choice for tough wear type jobs. Out 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, and industry best ratings in wear resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works well with almost all machining and fabrication processes. Some very 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 continued to rise in its many uses. Wear Resistant UHMW
