MARKETS SERVED WITH UHMW-PE PRODUCTS

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene has many potential uses for anyone seeking a better material that’s impact resistant, lightweight, self-lubricating and slides well. Those properties are why Global Polymer’s UHMW-PE products have found a home in the agriculture, transportation, manufacturing and oil & gas sectors.

PARTS MADE TO LAST

UHMW-PE products are broadly used in snowmobiles and other recreational vehicles as drive sprockets, wheels and rollers. With its ability to take a hit and not take on water, it’s also used in the marine industry for bumpers, fenders and rails. UHMW-PE is an ideal fit for the food and drug industries because it resists mold and other surface contaminants and doesn’t require lubrication. The potential for UHMW-PE applications extends to many other markets – to anyone needing the durability and long-lasting life other plastics and metals can’t deliver.
