UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) Continuous Wear Strip: wear resistant coatingsEmploying our exclusive continuous compression process process, Crown Plastics manufactures UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) film ranging in thickness from .020"-.125" in continuous wear strip or sheet rather than the conventional molding and skiving processes used for .003"-.020" film. The continuous compression process process is faster and far less labor intensive and produces a smoother, more consistent UHMW material for wear resistant coatings. This enables Crown Plastics to offer a high quality UHMW product at a lower cost to our distributors in standard lengths regardless of thickness. Continuous processing also allows for special lengths with no scrap or waste for larger custom orders. With the ever-increasing popularity of sheet, rod, tube and profiles, UHMW has rapidly become the staple product in the plastics industry. Although tape and film applications have also risen sharply, a surprising number of people are still unaware of the existing benefits of DuraSurf wear resistant coatings and materials. Countless washers and gaskets can be produced from UHMW and Crown Plastics roll capabilities allow for faster, cheaper stamping. Wear strip, mechanically fastened or adhered, eliminate numerous areas of friction and wear in material handling applications. Processing and treating the UHMW so it can be bonded to a pressure sensitive, adhesive backing also eliminates the need to mechanically fasten and reduces waste. Bushings, bearings, doctor blades, guides, rails, shims, wear plates, liners, and wipers are just a few of the many uses for DuraSurf wear resistant coatings and continuous wear strip.

As the only exclusive manufacturer of thin gauge UHMW, Crown Plastics has dedicated itself to servicing the needs of it's customers with high quality, competitively priced products produced and shipped quickly and conveniently. Crown Plastics currently stocks DuraSurf® in 16 thicknesses ranging from .003"-.125" in widths from 1/4" - 24" (in skived thicknesses). Every effort is made to meet next day and second day air requirements when possible, with normal lead times quoted in days instead of weeks. The combination of large inventory and short lead time allows for lower stocking requirements on the part of the distributor, which combined with our direct shipment capabilities adds up to lower costs to the customer.
