WHAT IS UHMW?  

 

UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). This is a polymer with a molecular weight of 3 and 6 million. UHMW-PE has outstanding abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, self-lubricating, chemical and stress cracking resistance. Another key characteristic is impact strength, which is 8 times greater than HDPE. UHMW-PE does not break in impact tests using standard notched specimens compared to HDPE, which will break.  In a ballistics test conducted at -65°F, a 1” slab of UHMW-PE stopped a .45 caliber bullet at a distance of only 25 ft!

UHMW-PE Applications: Conveyor wear strips, Guide rails, Bearings, Chute linings, Trailer linings, Snowmobile skis, sliders, idler wheels, drive sprockets & suspension bushings.

THE SNOWPLOW blades are fabricated exclusively from top quality virgin UHMW material.

If you have a need for UHMW material we have a large supply in various sizes and access to whatever you may need.

If you are a buyer or supplier we are always looking for associates in the UHMW industry.
