    Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Strips

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Strips.
    In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastic can’t. These strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

    Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets.
    An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, these acetal copolymer sheets offer the same naturally slippery surface and similar wear resistance. They resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be machined to close tolerances. Use them for parts that require precision, such as gears, bearings, and bushings.
