UHMWPE is a unique, low friction Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a molecular weight of more than 3 million. Combining the benefits of higher wear resistance (even greater than steel) and lower maintenance costs, the pads are easy to fabricate, install and can be fastened to steel, concrete, wood and rubber.
