POLYSLICK UHMW ROD
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
Polyslick UHMW Rod exhibits all of the durable qualities of our Polyslick UHMW Sheet making it perfect for the application where sheet stock is not suitable. The material is ideally suited for the manufacture of bushings, bearings, rollers, and augers as there is much less wasted material than if the material was made out of sheet stock. Polyslick UHMW Rod is available in up to 10 inches in diameter and is available out of stock in natural virgin and black reprocessed grades.
