UHMW

Highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer
Low coefficient of friction
Corrosion and chemical resistant
FDA and USDA sanctioned for use in food, meat and poultry applications
Good chemical resistance
Very good impact resistance
Low density and light weight
Sound dampening UHMW-PE stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene.
It is the highest quality PE available, engineered for tough jobs and a wide
range of applications. UHMW can be readily sawed, milled, turned, planed,
drilled, and punched which makes it an excellent material for OEM machined
parts.

UHMW is well known among engineers and designers of industrial equipment as
being one of the toughest substances known to man. UHMW has an abrasion
resistance 10 times that of carbon steel, a very high dielectric strength,
and an amazing impact strength.

UHMW's Ultra High Molecular Weight is what makes it strong enough to
withstand abrasion and impact to the extent which it does.

With so many advantageous properties UHMW is used in many industries and in
a multitude of applications. As examples can be mentioned chemical plants,
packaging machines, trucks, water treatment plants, railway cars, bottling
and canning lines, agricultural machinery, construction equipment.

Here is your answer good sir.
