UHMW Polyethylene Best Wear Resistant Plastic Sheet

Why choose UHMW Super Abrasion Resistant Plastic Sheet. UHMW-PE has been out performing most other plastic materials in some areas. With nearly ten times higher molecular weight compared to standard High Density Polyethylene resin, you can see how UHMW-PE would be the better choice for tough wear type applications. 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 has a low coefficient of friction. This versatile material  works extremely well with almost all machining and fabrication processes. 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 PE has grown in its popularity. https://iplasticsupply.com/uhmw UHMW Sheet
