UHMW 3mm applications
Gear
UHMW has a low friction coefficient, so gears produced with this material will experience reduced wear on their teeth, resulting in smoother and quieter operation. It also lasts longer than other materials, so won’t need to be replaced as frequently. Its light weight makes it easy to handle during installation and maintenance.
Shin guard
UHMW is an excellent material for manufacturing shin guards and other protective gear due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent abrasion resistance, and low coefficient of friction. Its ability to withstand heavy impact and wear makes it an ideal choice for protective gear, providing extra protection against collisions and kicks.
Dock bumper
UHMW's high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent abrasion resistance, and impact resistance make it an ideal material for dock bumpers. This ensures that they can withstand heavy use and provide long-lasting protection for docks and other structures. UHMW is also recommended because it is chemical and corrosion resistant, making it impervious to saltwater and other corrosive substances.
Hip bearing
UHMW is an excellent material for manufacturing hip bearings due to its high wear resistance and low coefficient of friction. It is also biocompatible and has a low rate of wear debris generation, making it an ideal material for medical implants. Its high strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance allow it to withstand heavy use and provide long-lasting support.
