UHMW plastic is ideal for reducing wear and friction due to its specialized internal lubrication, reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption while extending equipment life. High durability, low friction, and wear resistance are key reasons why UHMW is the material of choice for many applications.
UHMW’s low coefficient of friction enhances efficiency and productivity in the automotive, railroad, medical, printing and packaging industries as well as for material handling and food processing applications. UHMW also replaces metal in many applications. UHMW (excluding reprocessed UHMW) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for safe food contact.
