What Is UHMW? (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
UHMW is the material used as the cutting edges on Sno Kontrol back blades and snow boxes.
UHMW Polymer (plastic) is a linear polyethylene with a molecular weight in the range of 3,000,000 to 6,000,000. This value represents the "average molecular weight". Therefore UHMW is 10 times heavier than regular high density polyethylene.
Characteristics:
• The highest abrasion resistance
• Outstanding impact strength even at low temperatures
• Excellent sliding material due to low coefficient of friction
• Self-lubricating
• Easily machined with common woodworking tools
