Virgin UHMW, also known as UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene), is a tough and durable plastic used in a wide range of industries. This high-performance thermoplastic is especially popular in food and beverage processing, bottling and canning, conveying systems, material handling, and packaging. As a machinable material, UHMW plastic is versatile, easy to work with, and offers long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments.
Available in plastic rod, plastic sheet, and plastic tube form, UHMW outperforms traditional materials like metal, wood, and nylon when it comes to abrasion resistance and impact strength. Its slick surface and low coefficient of friction help reduce equipment wear, lower energy use, and minimize maintenance costs. UHMW sheet can also handle extreme temperatures from as low as -22°F (-30°C) up to 180°F (82°C) without losing its physical properties.
Thanks to its natural lubricity and resistance to moisture, UHMW is ideal for industrial applications such as conveyor wear strips, truck bed liners, star wheels, valves, and food service components. It's also FDA and USDA compliant, making it safe for use in food-related environments.
