UHMWPE Rod Advantages
UHMWPE Rod is particularly chosen for it's low co-efficient of friction which means it will produce bearings, pulleys or bushes that are very free running, low friction and long lasting. UHMWPE Rod is also very abrasive resistant, this means that UHMWPE Rod can be used in high demand environments such as grit or gravel and survive longer than other materials. UHMWPE Rod can often be used in high demand components in the food industry, this is because it has a very low moisture absorption that gives UHMWPE Rod an FDA approval and means that bearings etc will not expand due to any moisture absorption. Another reason that UHMWPE Rod is also used in the marine industry for pulleys is it's low friction and minimal moisture absorption.

UHMWPE Rod Availability
UHMWPE Rod is commercially available from a minimum diameter and a maximum diameter of **0mm. UHMWPE Rod is also manufactured in maximum lengths of ***0mm. UHMWPE Rod is also commercially available in natural colour and also black and green colour.

UHMWPE Rod Applications
Because UHMWPE Rod has such a high resistance to abrasion, it will often be chosen for use in sand, gravel or aggregate process applications, these environments are incredibly harsh on any bearing material but UHMWPE Rod is one of the few engineering plastics capable of withstanding such punishing abuse. UHMWPE Rod can also be used for low friction pulleys as this material has a very low friction co-efficient and provides a bearing medium that is very free running and exceptionally long lasting.
