UHMW Adhesive-Backed Wear Strips Fight Abrasion on Chutes and Conveyors

June 12, 2014
Slideways, Inc.'s UHMW wear strips can be affixed to chutes, conveyors, and other surfaces without drilling or mechanical fasteners.

A line of peel-and-stick UHMW wear strips can be affixed to chutes, conveyors, and other surfaces without drilling or mechanical fasteners.

 

UHMW Adhesive Backed Wear Strips feature a high shear strength adhesive that fully adheres to virtually any substrate material to provide low friction and high wear-resistant surface. Suitable for a variety of applications requiring superior abrasion resistance, these adhesive-backed wear strips eliminate the need for drilling and mechanical fasteners which can trap contaminants and interfere with the product flow.

 

Eliminating the problems associated with thermal expansion, these wear strips expand and contract at the same rate as the base substrate. Available in .25 to 24 in. wide and 50, 54, and 100-ft rolls and in thicknesses from .003 to .125 in., these low-profile strips can be supplied in various UHMW formulations. The adhesive provides 288 lb./in. of width shear strength and 175 lb./in2 tensile strength.
