UHMW polyethylene is a durable, strong, and damage-resistant material that provides a solid choice for manufacturing plastic washers. It’s also lightweight, making it ideal for use in a variety of complex assemblies and systems that are sensitive to weight.

This material offers excellent chemical resistance in a wide variety of applications, and also resists damage from water, chemicals containing water, oils, and oil-based fluids without degrading, staining, or otherwise losing its positive characteristics. UHMW washers are always resistant to physical damage from wear, abrasion, and impact because of their hardness and low friction coefficient. Washers made from this material will also reduce noise from shaking or vibrating assemblies.

INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS THAT UTILIZE UHMW WASHERS

Because UHMW has so many positive characteristics, washers made from the material are extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. Some of the most common include:

Bumpers

Chain guides

Chutes

Conveyance systems

Guard rails

Hoppers

Idler sprockets

Marine dock fender pads

Packaging machinery assemblies

Pile guards

Star wheels

Truck bed liners

Wear strips

Ultimately, UHMW washers can be designed and produced for virtually any application that needs a washer to be capable of resisting physical and chemical damage.
