1. What Makes ULTREX™ UHMW Such an Impressive Material for Any Application Dubbed UHMW for short, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is a specific type of thermoplastic polyethylene materials. It's notable for its very long chains which, thanks to how they can transfer a load in a more efficient way to the polymer's backbone, make it one of the strongest thermoplastics available anywhere. While it can't be injection molded, it can still be easily manufactured to match any specific requirements someone has. UHMW also brings with it a host of other advantages too, including ones like: • It's both FDA and NSF compliant • It offers superior abrasive resistance to other types of thermoplastics • It's available in a number of filled varieties like glass and oil, making it very versatile and perfect for applications that require extreme strength • It has almost unparalleled dielectric and insulating properties • It's stress-crack resistant Given the above, it makes sense that UHMW is used in just about every industry you can name. In addition to the shipping and trucking industries, UHMW is also commonly found in: • Agricultural equipment. • Dairy-related equipment, like conveyors • Water-handling equipment • Various items used in the wine industry • Airport equipment • Commercial refrigerators
