UHMW (also known as UHMW-PE) stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, which is a type of thermoplastic material characterized by its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent abrasion resistance, low friction coefficient, and impact resistance. Its strength and ability to resist wear and tear can, in some cases, outperform traditional steel components.

Key properties:

  • Low friction coefficient
  • High strength
  • High tensile strength
  • High impact resistance
  • Abrasion resistant
  • Chemical resistant
  • Useful for:

  • Gears
  • Cycling helmets
  • Shin guards
  • Dock bumper
  • Hip bearing
  • Exercise wobble board
