Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic. It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, has extremely low moisture absorption, very low coefficient of friction, is self lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion (15 times that of carbon steel).
- Material: UHMW-PE
- Color: White
- Shape: Round Rod
- Diameter: 1.000 (1 inch)
- Length: 12 inches
- Diameter Tolerance: (-0/+0.05)
- Length Tolerance: (+/-0.125)
- Quantity in Package: 1 piece(s)
- Item Weight: 0.33
- Specs Met: ASTM-D4020
- Notes: Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing to listed size. UHMW rods are not rigid and have a semi-memory. In longer lengths UHMW rods tend to "bow" or conform to the shape they are stored in.
