UHMW Polyethylene
UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough and abrasion resistant thermoplastic that is used for applications that require durability and/or abrasive wear resistance.
UHMW-PE filled with glass increases hardness and improved the coefficient of thermal expansion particularly suited to combat flow problems experienced in the bulk material handling industry.

Molybdenum disulfide is growing in popularity as an additive since it even further reduces the coefficient of friction.

Oiled filled UHMW is the material of choice for packaging, bottling, and food processing and handling applications requiring FDA and USDA compliance

Anti-static UHMW is an ideal material to use when potentially volatile conditions exist, such as those in grain elevators and munitions plants, effectively safeguarding against static discharges.

The key is UHMW's incredibly long molecular chain, which give UHMW a host of exceptional attributes such as high abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and unparalleled impact resistance, even in cryogenic environments.
