UHMW

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE, UHMW) It is the perfect choice for abrasion applications without high load, for a variety of industries and for handling bulk materials.

Characteristics:

* Very good resistance to abrasion.
* Low coefficient of friction.
* Low weight (lighter than water).
* Good chemical resistance (to some acids, organic solvents, saline media).
* Dielectric.
* Approved to be in contact with food (FDA).
* Force against high impact (does not break or splinter)
* Wide temperature range (-200 ° C to + 70 ° C).
* No or almost no moisture absorption
* Resistant to noise

Common applications:

* Chain and conveyor guides
* Corner guides
* Rails and rollers
* Hopper and mixer covers
