Great for use in all your tree house projects to prevent metal to metal contact. Material is 1/2" thick.
- Machinability
- Reprocessed UHMW is easy to machine with common woodworking tools,
- making it extremely cost effective, and outperforms metal in many
- applications. High durability, low friction and wear resistance are key
- reasons why reprocessed UHMW is the material of choice for many
- applications.
Low Coefficient of Friction
- Reprocessed UHMW is used in applications where high levels of friction
- are likely to arise including conveyor guard rails, augers and wear
- strips, belt scrapers, chain guides, and idler rollers. Due to an
- extremely low coefficient of friction, its inherent lubricity minimizes
- heat-generating friction that tends to gradually destroy steel parts,
- and ensures smooth, noiseless operation.
Self-Lubricating Formula
- High durability, low friction and wear resistance are key reasons why
- reprocessed UHMW is the material of choice for a myriad of applications.
- Reprocessed UHMW offers an extremely low coefficient of friction due to
- a specialized built-in lubricant that replaces unwanted grease and oil.
- It also enhances efficiency and productivity in many applications.
- Reprocessed UHMW’s self-lubricating formula helps to extend part life
- because the internal lubricant ensures that parts will not break or need
- replacement.

Features
- UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight
- Polyethylene) is a common machinable plastic known for durability,
- versatility and cost-effectiveness as well as abrasion, impact and
- chemical resistances. UHMW plastic features a molecular weight that
- ranges from 3.1 million to 100 million grams per mole, with an abrasion
- resistance that continues to improve as molecular weight increases.
Reprocessed UHMW is an eco-friendly and - economical alternative to standard virgin UHMW that uses a blended
- version of virgin and recycled UHMW. Reprocessed UHMW is excellent for
- non-food applications and offers all the benefits of standard UHMW at a
- much more cost effective price. Reprocessed UHMW features the same low
- coefficient of friction as standard UHMW while also offering a slightly
- better wear resistance. Reprocessed UHMW is used extensively for chain
- guides, wear rails, chute liners, truck liners, hopper liners and many
- other applications where excellent wear properties are required. The
- standard color of reprocessed UHMW is black.
