UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is a premium virgin grade polyethylene that is used extensively in commercial and industrial applications. It has a molecular weight of 4,500,000g/mol, and has improved wear and abrasion resistance, combined with outstanding impact strength, even at temperatures below -200°C.

UHMWPE has excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, a low coefficient of friction, and superior anti-stick properties. It is frequently used in high-wear applications, from wear strips under conveyors to guide rails in bottling plants or scraper blades on road rollers.

Extruded profiles and wear strips have applications in the materials handling industry. Larger UHMWPE sheets are used for lining bulk storage hoppers where low friction, anti-stick, and abrasion resistant properties solve feed and wear problems. Sheets are available with planed or unplanned surfaces.
