UHMW-PE
Polyslick Ultra-High Molecular Weight
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 buses to impact and glide smoothly along the curb face achieving a minimal and safer boarding gap while protecting the curb and bus.
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.
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.
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® 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.
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.
Ultrapoly Anti-Skid
Ultra Non-Skid® technology initially developed for the United States Navy has been scaled down for commercial use. New to the Ultra Non-Skid® family is BraxxTM permanent non-skid sheet. These non-skid technologies are a direct replacement for non-skid tapes and paints for industrial applications.

Avalanche Liners
Our Medium Duty dumptruck liner is manufactured from a high molecular weight (HMW) polyethylene extrusion. This plastic liner is designed for lighter hauling, and is subsequently priced more cost-effectively than our heavier duty dumptruck liners. The Mid-Grade dumptruck liner ranges from 1/4” to 1/2” thickness, and can be manufactured in widths from 1’ to 16’. We recommend against hauling any asphalt with this grade of dumptruck liner.
Our Heavy-Duty liner is manufactured from an ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene extrusion to produce a plastic liner designed for heavy-duty hauling. When compared to HMW liners, UHMW liners are 3-5X more resistant to wear. Heavy-Duty liners are suitable for larger rock and heavier hauling. The Heavy-Duty liner ranges from 1/4” to 3/4” thickness, and can be manufactured in widths from 1’ to 16’ feet wide.
The High Temperature liner is designed to haul hot asphalt up to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Our Heat Stabilized dump truck liner is our most durable & protective liner, while also utilizing additives to provide for our best sliding surface to fight against material build up and additional hydraulic pressure used to extract material from your dump truck bed. When compared to HMW liners, UHMW liners are 3-5X more resistant to wear.
