UHMW Plastic Machining: Properties, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Industry Applications
Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE or UHMW) is a subset of thermoplastic polyethylene with extremely long chains, resulting in a very tough material with high impact strength and resistance to wear and abrasion. UHMW plastic is commonly used in applications requiring durability and low friction. These attributes make UHMW plastic an ideal candidate for machining into various…
