UHMW / UHMWPE – Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

We stock hundreds of sheets of UHMW in our Southern Alberta warehouse.

UHMW (UHMWPE) or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is an extremely durable plastic used to solve Wear, Friction, and Material Flow across many industries. It is known for its extreme wear resistance, high impact strength, chemical resistance, and outstanding sliding properties.

Friesen Plastics’ UHMW-PE has a very low COF (Coefficient of friction), is self-lubricating, and up to 10 times more abrasion resistant than carbon steel. It’s COF is significantly lower than that of Nylon and is comparable to PTFE or Teflon. UHMW has better abrasion resistance than Teflon.

Friesen Plastics offers UHMW in full sheet lengths (4′ x 10′) or in fabricated parts.

Natural White UHMW 4′ x 10′ sheets 0.187″ 0.25″ 0.50″ 0.75″ 1.0″ 1.5″
