Industries has led the industry in skiving thin gauge UHMW-PE film
(Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). Employing skiving equipment
developed in house, we continue to press the envelope of technology
to assure the highest quality film available today. DeWAL UHMW (DW
402) is used in a broad array of applications from auto squeak and
rattle tape, to chemical and hydraulic hose inner and outer liners.
UHMW exhibits excellent physical, chemical, mechanaical and abrasion
resistance properties. UHMW has very low coefficient of friction
and is used in sliding bearing applications where load and temperature
are not high. DeWAL manuafactures UHMW film from 0.003” to
0.040” thick and widths up to 50”. We find that UHMW
is used in belting as a structural support layer, and also in automotive
rubber profiles as a wear and friction reducing layer. Our DW 402
family of products consists of natural, black and conductive black
films. Each of these have uses in all the applications listed above
for different reasons. The natural UHMW material carries with is
FDA and USDA compliance characteristics. The conductive fillers
are used to enhance static dissipation in hose and other applications. |
