UHMW

This materials is…excellent wearing and very abrasion resistant – one of the best materials made for these properties. Very low specific gravity (floats in water). Promotes the flow of bulk material (sand, soy beans, coal, etc.). Superior material for wear strip, conveyor rails, slide plate, wear pads.

• Very Low Moisture Absorption
• FDA, USDA and 3-A Dairy Compliant
• Superior Wear Resistance
• Chemically Resistant to Chlorine and Caustic/Acidic Cleaning Agents
• Offers excellent strength, rigidity and machinability

Applications – Frequently used in:

• Food, Dairy and Packaging Equipment
• Timing Screws, Wear and Slide machined parts
• Star Wheels, Idler Sprockets and Guide Rails
• FDA and 3A approved material for Scraper Blades
• Hoppers, Chute Lining, Feeder Lines and Wear Plates
