UHMW Applications

UHMW Molded Profiles & Machined Parts
Cost-Efficient & High-Performance Polymer Solutions

**Key Advantages**
1. **50% Lower Cost** vs. machined parts due to efficient molding processes.
2. **Ultra-Low Friction** (coefficient: 0.14) outperforms steel in sliding applications, reducing heat, noise, and wear.
3. **Extreme Durability**: Resists abrasion from sand, grit, moisture, ice, and sub-zero temperatures.
4. **Corrosion-Resistant**: Ideal for harsh environments (e.g., wastewater, chemicals).

**Applications**
**Molded Profiles** (e.g., conveyor guides, belt scrapers, chain rails, wear plates):
– Pulp/Paper: Conveyor wear liners
– Automotive: Assembly line bumpers
– Mining: Idlers for iron ore conveyors
– Beverage: Palletizer guide shoes
– Wastewater: Wear strips and guides

**Machined Parts** (CNC-produced gears, sprockets, bearings, valves):
– Food Packaging: Chain guides
– Railways: Flanged rollers
– Chemical Processing: Pistons, valves, bearings
– Textiles: Loom pickers
– Aerospace: NASA spacecraft fuel cell gears

**Why UHMW?**
– Replaces metal with superior wear resistance, ease of machining, and cost efficiency.
– Suitable for high-stress applications (e.g., snowmobile skids, drive systems).

**Ideal for industries demanding durability, low friction, and chemical resistance.**
