POLYSLICK

Polyslick® UHMW Sheet exhibits the properties of excellent impact strength, abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, as well as very good chemical resistance. This industrial grade material is also moisture, stain and odor resistant, and is FDA approved to be used in the food processing industry. The material is ideally suited for wear applications especially in contact with metals. UHMW is widely used in industrial applications such as chute linings, dock bumpers, paper machine parts, and conveyor wear strips and can easily be machined with ordinary wood working tools.

The docking or berthing of a ship puts an enormous pressure and friction transferred between the ship and the shore fixtures. This can lead to large scale damage and deterioration to the shore fixtures. Traditionally, docks have used rubber and timber systems to provide a barrier between the ship and the dock. However, timber quickly deteriorates in the harsh marine climate while rubber is prone to tearing and catastrophic failure in this application. POLYSLICK® PILE GUARDS have excellent impact and abrasion resistance, and a low coefficient of friction, which is proven to be an ideal material in dock applications. The material is ideally suited to harsh marine environments due to its almost zero moisture absorption and chemical resistance to saltwater. The material’s extremely high molecular weight essentially holds the material together during the extreme force transfers between the ship and dock.

POLYSLICK BUS CURB is a custom formulated synthetic fender designed to reduce street curb and transit station curb damage as well as reduce damage to bus wheels and tires. Damage typically occurs when drivers are executing "precision or close docking". This safety oriented action is required to reduce the gap between the curb or station platform and the boarding floor of the bus. POLYSLICK BUS CURB allows busses to impact and glide smoothly along the curb face achieving a minimal and safer boarding gap while protecting the curb and bus. Our standard high visibility colors are consistent and UV stabilized throughout the material so they permanently enforce the bus zone. No more painting!.

UHMW fender facings bolted or bonded to a fender front creates an unbreakable, low friction shield which protects surfaces from impact and abrasion. UHMW can be designed into the construction of new fendering structures, enduring continuous impact and rubbing, prolonged ultra violet light exposure, wide temperature variations, salt and chemical contact. UHMW fenders can be made of UHMW, crosslinked UHMW, or reprocessed UHMW. Our Custom Fenders can be fabricated, heat or cold formed to customer specifications.

Polyslick® Rocket Plate is a 100% virgin UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sheet product with hemispherical nodules on one side designed to reduce surface contact facilitating easier movement and rotation of heavy material in any direction. Low friction, lightweight, impact resistant, and cost effective are just some of Rocket Plate's features along with being easy to install and requiring virtually no maintenance.

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.

The unique leaf spring shape of Flexi Fend allows it to flex with impact and return to shape with no permanent damage. Fenders fully recover from repeated collisions and heavy loads. Made of lightweight UHMWPE, Flexi Fend installs easily and is virtually maintenance free.
