UHMW PE is the product of choice when applications require high slip, anti-friction surfaces but need the added feature of being highly abrasion and wear-resistant. UHMW has a lower temperature range than PTFE (0 to 200°F) but is tougher and resists gouging. It's perfect for material handling systems, metal-to-metal sliding surface applications, chutes, guides, noise abatement, and friction reduction.
UHMW Film is opaque white. Black, semi-conductive, anti-static UHMW Film is also offered.
Available film thicknesses range from .003 to .125 in.; rolls can be slit from .25 to 24-in. wide. UHMW Film is also sold by the lineal foot and can be die-cut into custom shapes. Specialty adhesives such as “High Bond” and “PE Bond’ can be laminated onto UHMW.
