UHMW is used extensively for grain transitions, lining or repairing grain valves and grain spouts, and lining of grain handling equipment, bin hopper liners and many other applications where excellent wear properties are required.

UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a common machinable plastic known for durability, versatility and cost-effectiveness as well as abrasion, impact and chemical resistances. UHMW plastic features a molecular weight that ranges from 3.1 million to 100 million grams per mole, with an abrasion resistance that continues to improve as molecular weight increases.
