[PERFORMANCE] This grade of UHMW is designed to withstand longer durations of high-temperature applications than standard UHMW. UHMW Polyethylene has excellent impact resistance and a slippery surface that reduces abrasion and wear. In addition, it is a strong electrical insulator and moisture-resistant.
[TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES] Tensile Strength: 6,800 psi, Impact Strength: 16.0 ft. - lbs./in., Coefficient of Friction: 0.15, Water Absorption: 0.10%, Hardness: Rockwell M65, Density: 0.033 lbs/cu. in., Temperature Range: -65° to 180° F, Specifications Met: UL 94 HB.
[VARIOUS APPLIANCES] UHMW Polyethylene is often used to make machine guards and chute liners.
