Wearex™ UHMWPE

Product: Wearex™ UHMWPE
(Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
A high quality plastic which offers superior impact, shock and abrasion resistance. As well, it has self-lubricating and high-slip properties and is resistant to chemical corrosion.

We stock an extensive range of products, however the variety of special grades available for your individual usage may take up to several weeks to produce - please contact our sales department for more information.

Standard stock includes 

 NATURAL food grade,

 GREEN food grade,  

 BLACK virgin,  BLACK repro, 

 BLUE 80-EX (special filled grade)  and  

 CERADUR XL (high performance material)
