UHMW Polyethylene Best Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod

Picking UHMW Polyethylene Super Abrasion Resistant Plastic Rod. UHMW-PE has been out performing the other plastic materials in many properties. With over a ten times higher molecular weight when compared with normal HDPE materials, you can certainly see why UHMW-PE would be the best choice for tough wear type projects. Out 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, extremely wear resistant and one of the lowest coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works very well with almost all machining and fabrication processes. Some very common applications are: scrapers, door and drawer glides, washers, gaskets, abrasion resistant strips, wear plates, and shims. This is partly why Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has grown and continues to grow in its popularity.
