Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Film

Widely used as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear, this UHMW film has a slippery surface that prevents sticking.

Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.

FDA Standard—For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.

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.

Etched Texture—Products with an etched texture have one side that’s scuffed to readily accept an adhesive; the other side is smooth.

Conductive UHMW Polyethylene Film

This film contains carbon to quickly divert static electricity. Often used as a protective covering on sensitive electronic equipment, it has a self-lubricating, slippery surface that resists wear.

Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.
