Why Choose UHMW-PE

Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene offers exceptional wear resistance, low friction, and impact toughness — ideal for demanding sliding and guiding applications.

Key Material Advantages

✓ Very low friction and excellent wear resistance
✓ High impact strength and toughness
✓ Good chemical resistance to many solvents
✓ Low moisture absorption, dimensional stability
✓ FDA-compliant grades available
✓ Self-lubricating, non-stick surface

Design Considerations

▲ Lower heat resistance than many engineering plastics
▲ Tendency to creep; tight tolerances require careful design
▲ Limited surface finishing options (no optical clarity)
▲ Adhesive bonding difficult; mechanical fastening preferred

For higher temperatures or tighter tolerances, we recommend POM/Acetal, PEEK, PEI, PPS or PVDF.

UHMW-PE CNC Machining Capabilities

From complex profiles to precision bushings, our machining center handles a broad range of UHMW-PE parts.

CNC Milling

Wear strips, guides, star wheels, pockets, complex profiles, and fixtures.

CNC Turning

Bushings, rollers, sleeves, pulleys, spacers, custom geometries.

Drilling & Tapping

Precision holes, coarse threads, metal inserts for durable fastening.

Slotting & Grooving

Chamfers, counterbores, recesses, relief features, and custom profiles.

Complex Contouring

Conveyor, packaging, and custom fixture components with tight tolerances.

Custom Tolerances & Finishes

Standard ±0.10 mm; tighter on critical features, with functional surfaces and markings.

Recommended UHMW-PE Grades

We work with a range of UHMW-PE materials to match your application requirements:

Virgin UHMW-PE – standard high-performance grade (FDA on request)
Antistatic / Conductive – for static-sensitive environments
UV-Stabilized – outdoor and marine applications
Lubricated / Wear-Enhanced – extended service life
Reprocessed Grades – cost-optimized when acceptable

Provide your application details and we will recommend the right grade.

Design & Machining Considerations

1 Use sharp, high-positive-rake tooling; control heat with appropriate speeds and cooling
2 Favor generous radii; avoid thin unsupported walls
3 Minimize tight press fits; allow for thermal expansion and creep
4 Use metal inserts or coarse threads for durable fastening
5 Consider stress relief/conditioning for critical parts
6 Define functional tolerances and datum strategy clearly
