UHMW polyethylene is an outstanding choice in material when you need a relatively low cost abrasion, impact, and chemical resistant material. UHMW is used in extreme wear situations such as hopper liners, conveyer systems, marine fender pads, and sand and gravel movement. Natural UHMW is not uv stabilized and will have a shortened life if used outdoors.

More Information
Ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene is often referred to as the world’s toughest polymer. UHMW is a linear high density polyethylene which has high abrasion resistance as well as high impact strength. UHMW is also chemical resistant and has a low coefficient of friction which make it highly effective in a variety of applications. UHMW can be crosslinked, reprocessed, color-matched, machined and fabricated to meet most customer requirements.
NOTE: ALL TUBES COME SUFFICENTLY OVERSIZED ON THE OD DIMENSION AND SUFFICENTLY UNDERSIZED ON THE INSIDE DIMENSION TO ALLOW FOR MACHINING TO SIZE LISTED
