Customer Ratings & Reviews

UHMW Polyethylene stands for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene which has superb abrasion and impact resistance. It will outlast metal, nylons and other engineering plastics under constant wear applications. Common uses include marine dock construction, bed liners and fenders for automobiles and components for high speed machinery. UHMW Polyethylene is available in virgin and reprocessed; virgin UHMW polyethylene is FDA compliant and can be used in food applications while reprocessed UHMW polyethylene is not FDA compliant and commonly used in industrial settings.
