At Spiratex, we’ve long been proud of the reputation we’ve been able to earn as an industry leader in custom plastic extrusion. Since 1955, we’ve been working hard to innovate in terms of UHMW/PE extrusion, and we’ve set multiple industry standards along the way.
But we also want to be more than that for our clients – we want to be a true partner in every sense of the term. Much of that means providing you with the valuable information you need to get the most out of your experience – to help you understand the potential of what can be done and why it matters.
That’s part of the reason why we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the helpful blog posts we’ve recently published on the topic. We trust that you will find them equal parts insightful and informative.
Getting Essential Information to the People Who Need It
Not too long ago, we published an Infographic about Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, otherwise known as UHMW. We outlined the benefits in great detail – it’s tough when compared to alternative options, it’s got a very low coefficient of friction and its highly chemical resistant.
Along the same lines, another recent piece involved breaking down the types of UHMW that are available. Natural UHMW, for example, is made of up 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and is completely FDA compliant. It can be used for custom machined parts, pulleys and more. Reprocessed UHMW, on the other hand, is a bit more environmentally friendly because it’s being made by materials that are themselves being reused.

Another piece that we’ve recently authored outlines what makes UHMW such an impressive material for virtually any application. The material itself is obviously notable for its very long chains. These allow the material to transfer a load in a more efficient way to the polymer’s backbone and, as a result, it’s one of the strongest thermoplastics out there today. Yes, it’s true that it can’t be injection molded – but it’s both FDA and NSF compliant, it offers incredible abrasive resistance to other types of thermoplastics, and it’s essentially the only solution for any applications that require extreme strengths.
Finally, we’ve published a piece about the various uses of UHMW and why its flexibility and ingenuity make it the perfect match for a plethora of different industries. If you’ve ever been skiing, the skid plates that guide the gondola down the line are likely made from UHMW. It’s used on factory floors wear parts are constantly interacting with one another to avoid friction. This is especially true given everything going on with the supply chain shortages right now.
