UHMWPE Premium
UHMWPE Premium (Polyslick® XL) is a crosslinked UHMWPE thermoplastic enhanced with silicone (Polyslick® XLS) for release and slip, or with glass (Polyslick® GXL) for unparalleled wear resistance. These additives create a superior UHMWPE product resulting in increased performance & durability. Our UHMWPE Premium products are crosslinked & UV stabilised.
- Superior abrasion resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Promotes bulk material flow

Features
Superior UHMWPE
Crosslinked UHMWPE Premium grade materials such as our Polyslick® XL range reduces thermal expansion & contraction. With its low coefficient of friction, coupled with increased wear resistance & dimensional stability, it makes Polyslick® XL the UHMWPE material of choice. Widely used across New Zealand industries for material flow and conveying solutions.
Performance Choices
UHMWPE Premium Polyslick® XL range is available with either silicone oil (XLS grade) or glass sphere (GXL grade) additives. Silicone filled XLS grade offers enhanced slip & release properties. Glass filled GXL grade provides ultra wear resistance where required. Both grades are UV stabilised for extended part life and offer an extremely low coefficient of friction.
Applications
Our Premium Polyslick® XL range is used in a variety of applications such as bunker & hopper liners, screw liners, silos, conveyor wear strips & conveyor chain flights, chain guides, guide rails, dock fenders, belt scrapers, vibrating chute liners, plus many more. The material of choice when standard or reprocessed grades of UHMWPE don't meet the application requirements.

Polyurethane offers exceptional physical properties such as, toughness, flexibility and resistance to abrasion, temperature, puncture and tearing. Grades from 50A to 75D. PU combines the toughness of metal with the elasticity of rubber.
Our plastic cut to size service allows you to purchase our wide range of engineering plastic stock shapes to the exact size and quantity you require.
We have invested in digital cutting equipment that allows us to accurately and repeatedly cut hundreds of pieces of cut to size plastics for a single order, all to the same tolerance.
Welded steel mill chains provide an economical and superior method for conveying most materials. They are most common in the lumber, pulp & paper, plywood, OSB and other board mills. Other applications include bucket elevators and bulk material handling. Various through and induction hardening options allow you to tailor the chain to the application.
