UHMW-PE, or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is an extremely tough and abrasion resistant thermoplastic used for applications that require durability and/or abrasive wear resistance.
While UHMW-PE’s exterior features resemble various polyethylene materials, UHMW’s high physical and mechanical strength provides far better performance than standard polyethylene.

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.
UHMW PE, UnfilledLubX® C is a specially formulated high-performance material that is a mixture of UHMW Polyethylene with added solid lubricants to reduce friction. LubX® C is known for its high impact strength and is also light in weight, resistant to staining, and has a low moisture absorption rate.
UHMW PE, LubX® CLubX® CV products have exceptionally good sliding properties while also exhibiting very low temperature development, which results in lower wear and longer lifespan of the entire system. The material was developed for systems intended to be operated at higher velocities and pressure loads, meaning increased productivity.
UHMW PE, LubX® CVMetal Detectable UHMW PE offers a lightweight, chemical and impact resistant, FDA compliant and metal detectable option. It delivers increased value resulting in longer production cycles, reduced contamination of food, lower maintenance and operating costs.
UHMW PE Metal DetectableOiled filled UHMW is the material of choice for packaging, bottling, and food processing and handling applications requiring FDA and USDA compliance
UHMW PE, Oil FilledMolybdenum disulfide is growing in popularity as an additive since it even further reduces the coefficient of friction.
UHMW PE, Moly FilledUHMW-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.
UHMW PE, Glass FilledAnti-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.
