UHMW-PE Ultra Abrasion Resistant Plastic Sheet

Picking UHMW-PE Super Wear Resistant Plastic Sheet. UHMW-PE has been out performing most other plastic materials in some areas. With over a ten times greater molecular weight as compared to conventional High Density Polyethylene materials, you can see why UHMW-PE would be the obvious choice for tough wear type applications. Of all the polymers, UHMW-PE has the highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer. This material also has a very high impact strength, chemical resistant, and some of the highest wear resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works well with all standard machining and fabrication methods. Some typical and common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, wear resistant strips, wear plates, and shims. These are some of the reasons Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has grown and continues to grow in its many uses. https://iplasticsupply.com/uhmw UHMW Sheet
