UHMW (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance. The versatility of polyethylene has made it a popular plastic for countless industrial applications that require durability, low friction, and chemical resistance. Applications include UHMW wear strips, chain guides, packaging machinery parts, and marine dock fender pads.
UHMWPE material is ideally suited for conveyor systems because of its capacity to tolerate high temperatures, frequent stress, and chemical exposure. This material is also perfect for making star wheels for conveyor systems, which hasten and effectively move goods through assembly and sorting processes.
