What Is EHMW?
Extra high molecular weight polyethylene (EHMW) is a thermoplastic polyethylene. It has high impact strength due to its extremely long molecular chains. It is resistant to corrosive materials (with the exceptions of oxidizing acids) and exhibits superior resistance to moisture absorption. EHMW has a low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating, and is resistant to abrasion.
