The Complete Guide to UHMW Tubing: Properties, Benefits, and Applications

Image
  Introduction When performance and durability are non-negotiable,  UHMW tubing  is the go-to choice for countless industries. Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) offers a unique combination of toughness, abrasion resistance, and chemical stability, making it ideal for demanding environments. As a leading plastic extrusion manufacturer, Spiratex has decades of experience producing high-performance UHMW tubing for custom applications. What is UHMW Tubing? UHMW tubing is made from polyethylene with an extremely high molecular weight — typically in the millions — resulting in exceptional wear resistance and impact strength. Its slick, low-friction surface makes it an excellent choice for applications where movement, sliding, or abrasion is involved. Key Properties of UHMW Tubing Outstanding Wear Resistance  – Ideal for long-lasting performance in high-friction environments. Low Coefficient of Friction  – Allows materials to slide smoothly ...
