What Is UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)?
UHMW Applications & Use Cases
UHMW for Snow Plows & Scraper Edges
As a heavy-duty, high-impact plastic, UHMW thrives in extreme cold-weather applications ranging from heavy forestry equipment to snowmobile skis and scraper blades. UHMW retains high impact toughness at low temperatures and is well-suited for freezing winter temperatures.
When used for snow plow edges, UHMW operates much more quietly than steel and can help reduce surface marking. Interstate Plastics custom-cuts UHMW sheet to your specific dimensions; its excellent machinability means you can drill mounting holes easily on-site.
Our top-performing plastics for snow plow and scraper applications include UHMW Reprocessed Sheet (an economical, high-wear solution) and IPX 2000 UHMW Advanced Wear Technology Sheet (for maximum abrasion resistance, lowest friction, and built-in UV stabilization).
Top Winter Applications:
- Snow plow cutting edges, wing liners, and wear components
- Scraper edges and vat scrapers
- Bucket lips
- Skid shoes, skid plates, and skid-steer components
- Runners and running boards
