UHMWPE Black Rod

Black UHMWPE rod offers outstanding abrasion resistance, very low friction and excellent impact strength, making it ideal for demanding wear and sliding applications. Supplied in a range of diameters and lengths, this material machines well into precision components for industrial use.

This ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has excellent chemical resistance and a low moisture absorption rate, ensuring dimensional stability in wet and corrosive environments. Black UHMWPE rod is commonly used for bearings, wear strips, guide rails and liners where long service life and quiet running are required.

• Extremely low coefficient of friction for smooth, non-stick sliding surfaces
• High abrasion and impact resistance for long-lasting wear components
• Excellent chemical resistance and very low moisture absorption
• Good machinability into bushings, rollers, gears and guides
• Suitable for food-contact grades when specified, and conveyor applications
• Available in a range of diameters and lengths, easily cut to size
