UHMWPE Rod

Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene will outwear all other materials, including metals, nylons, urethanes, and fluoroplastics. Applications include guide rails, wear plates, rollers, conveyor augers, bin and hopper lines, chutes, bearings, bushings, and gears.

• Exceptionally high abrasion & impact resistance
• Low coefficient of friction
• Self-lubricating with a non-adherent surface
• Cuts maintenance costs & extends equipment life
• Corrosion resistance; same qualities of other PE
• Tolerance: 0.000″ to +0.375″ as size increases
• Temperature range: -60°F to 180°F

Features

• Low density and low coefficient of friction.
• High abrasion & wear resistance.
• Very low water absorption.
• High toughness (even at low temperatures), high elongation at break and high impact strength.
• Service temperature range -250 °C to +80 °C.

Application

• Wear strips
• Chain guides,
• Packaging machinery parts
• Marine dock fender pads.
