UHMWPE

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is the densest, toughest thermoplastic available today. No other material, not even stainless steel, stands up as well to severe abrasion and abusive impact.

It's not just tough—with a molecular weight of over 4.2 million, it features a slippery, frictionless surface that virtually eliminates the gradual wear that occurs with standard metal parts.
