Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene or UHMWPE is a kind of engineering plastic known for its impact and wear resistance. As one of our thermoplastic rods, this UHMWPE rod is highly versatile and has any number of different applications.

Size of UHMWPE Rod
Diameter: 20-300mm
Length: 250mm, 500mm, 1000mm, etc.
We can also provide custom sized plastic rods.

Features of UHMWPE Rod
Self-lubricating
Good Abrasion and wear resistance (15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel)
Corrosion and impact resistant
Resistant to low temperatures
Non-water absorption
Easy to machine
