UHMWPE is often described as the world’s toughest polymer. UHMWPE is characterised by toughness, chemical resistance, its low coefficient of friction, near-zero moisture absorption and ease of machining.
UHMW machined parts have extremely high resistance to wear and abrasion. It has the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic and is highly resistant to most corrosive materials. UHMW is self-lubricating and performs well in extraordinarily low temperatures, but begins to soften in higher temperatures. Unlike nylon, it has a very low moisture absorption rate, making it suitable for use in wet environments.
UHMW Machined Parts are made in a completely controlled environment.
Some Examples of parts we can machine from UHMW:
UHMW O-rings, UHMW Seats, UHMW Bushings, UHMW Bearings, UHMW Guide Blocks, UHMW Wear Pads, UHMW Washers, UHMW Conveyor Guide Rail, UHMW PiPE Support, UHMW drag conveyor paddles.
