It is a durable plastic material that is resistant to abrasion and chemicals. Because of its high density makeup, it doesn’t absorb much water or liquid, meaning that it can work well as a vessel or container. It’s also fairly versatile and affordable for a variety of other applications. When it comes to fabrication, the material can be shaped and welded using thermoplastic equipment, making it perfect for applications where a very specific shape is needed.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;">UHMW stands for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. This plastic material is known for being extremely strong and abrasion-resistant. It’s especially well suited for holding up against wear from constant friction between moving parts. It’s also fairly low cost and can be used for a variety of applications. Though it can be fabricated and machined, it’s not as well suited to forming specific shapes and welding as HDPE. However, it is generally able to hold up better against friction and wear over time.</p><div><font color="#4d5156" face="-apple-system, sans-serif" size="4"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d5156" face="-apple-system, sans-serif" size="4"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">YMMV</span></font></div><div><font color="#4d5156" face="-apple-system, sans-serif" size="4"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d5156" face="-apple-system, sans-serif" size="4"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">JOHN<br></span></font><br><div dir="ltr"><ul style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 2em; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.</span></li></ul></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 3, 2022, at 2:21 PM, Ron Odum via Woodworkers <woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">Thanks Steve..

<p>You're welcome. I grew up in Alaska, so I know more than I never
wanted about snow and fifty below. ;-)</p>
<p>I've also seen the stuff used in material-handling and
equipment-moving applications. I have a motorcycle wheel adapter
for my Harbor Fright tire machine that some whizz kid made cushion
inserts for out of HDPE (as Steve mentioned) to protect the chrome
rims.</p>
<p>Handy stuff.<br>
