Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is the first choice material for facing steel fender panels and other heavy duty applications. It combines very low friction with excellent impact strength and a wear resistance much better than steel.
The standard color is black, but if other colors are needed then ‘virgin’ grade also comes in yellow, white, grey, blue, green and red. UHMW-PE materials are compounded to resist ozone and UV radiation. They do not degrade or rot and are easily recycled at the end of their useful service life.
