UHMW-PE Best Wear Resistant Sheet Plastic

Why choose UHMW Polyethylene Super Wear Resistant Sheet Plastic. UHMW-PE has been out performing almost all other plastic materials in some areas. With a ten times higher molecular weight compared to normal High Density Polyethylene resins, you can certainly see why UHMW-PE would be the obvious 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, extremely wear resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works very well with almost all machining and fabrication methods. Some typical and common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, abrasion resistant strips, wear plates, and shims. This is why Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has grown in its popularity. UHMW Sheet
