Overview
UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough and abrasion resistant thermoplastic that is used for applications that require durability
and/or abrasive wear resistance.
UHMW sheet is often used for lining chutes and hoppers in order to protect metal surfaces and promote the flow of solid materials such as sand, wood chips, or coal.
UHMW is also used for packaging, conveyor, and food processing machinery parts including star wheels, idler sprockets, and under-chain wear strips.
