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.
Features of UHMW
While UHMW-PE’s exterior features resemble various polyethylene materials, UHMW’s high physical and mechanical strength provides far better performance than standard polyethylene.
- Impact resistance
- Corrosion Resistant
- Antistatic and low friction coefficient
- Antimicrobial and non-toxic
- High Temperature Resistance
- Easily Machined
- Low moisture resistance

Types of UHMW
UHMW PE, Unfilled
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, Unfilled
UHMW PE, LubX® C
LubX® 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® C
UHMW PE, LubX® CV
LubX® 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® CV
UHMW PE Metal Detectable
Metal 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 Detectable
UHMW PE, Glass Filled
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.
UHMW PE, Glass Filled
UHMW PE, Static Control
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.
UHMW PE, Static Control
UHMW PE, Bar Snap Ons
UHMW Bar Snap Ons are a cost-effective way to turn a metal component into a long wearing, non-marring component used in many conveying applications. UHMW is often used because of its good wear resistance and low friction properties in both wet and dry environments.
