Product Detail uhmw plastic

UHMWPE ( uhmwpe sheet or rod ) is an ultra-tough, wear-resistant polyethylene designed for high-performance applications where impact strength, abrasion resistance, and low friction are critical. Sold in flat sheet and rod stock, it's often the go-to choice for wear strips, guide rails, and liner systems.

Key Properties

• Density: ~0.935 g/cm³
   
• Working Temperature: -150°C to +80°C
   
• Tensile Strength: ~3,100 psi
   
• Impact Strength: Outstanding (non-notched Izod >200 ft-lbs/in)
   
• Coefficient of Friction: Ultra-low (~0.1)
   
• Moisture Absorption: Near zero
   
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent across acids, solvents, detergents

Common Application

• Wear pads, slides, and chain guides
   
• Conveyor components and chute liners
   
• Marine dock bumpers and fenders
   
• Hopper and truck bed liners
   
• High-impact spacers and bushings
  

Benefits 

• Virtually unbreakable under impact loads
   
• Outlasts many other plastics in sliding or abrasive conditions
   
• Very low surface friction — ideal for moving parts
   
• Self-lubricating — no external lubrication needed
   
• Vibration-dampening and noise-reducing
