UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a versatile engineering plastic that is available in sheets and rods.
It’s wear resistant and sliding properties make it an ideal choice in many industries such as materials handling, food, mining, transport, marine and many other applications
Recently Allplastics Engineering manufactured a large 60mm thick component for the mining industry utilising our precision CNC routing facilities and later welding the large components to produce the final design.
