WEAR-A-THON® is produced using premium quality cross-linked UHMW resin and special additives, transforming it into a highly wear and abrasion resistant plastic.  This manufacturing process blends the resin and additives into a homogenous material that wear hardens and has a lower rate of thermal expansion than other UHMW compounds
In fact, it is difficult to express the molecular weight of WEAR-A-THON®, since it is totally cross linked the sheet appears to become one molecular chain.  This cross linking and the special additives provide Wear-A-Thon's outstanding performance.  Wear hardening and a low rate of thermal expansion make WEAR-A-THON®, the logical choice in severe plastic-on-metal wear applications.


Glass-Like Finish Reduces Friction & Wear

WEAR-A-THON®, with its unique wear hardening capability, makes it ideally suited for use in sliding applications such as chain conveyor guides.  As the material wears, it polishes to a glass-like finish, extending wear life and substantially reducing friction.  In most applications, as the top layer wears away, the material below lasts two to three times longer.  As an added benefit, this reduction in friction means drives require less horse power.


No Buckling When Attached To Steel


WEAR-A-THON®, with its special composition, has superior heat dissipate properties than other UHMW plastics.  A one inch thick sheet expands and contracts similar to A.R. steel.  This, in conjunction with our special weld washer attachment method, ensures that WEAR-A-THON® will not buckle when attached to steel decks.  Sheet material can easily be cut, bent or machined into any shape required.  In bin and chute applications, WEAR-A-THON® provides excellent wear resistance preventing both sticking and bridging.  Also, noise caused by material flow is substantially reduced.  And, since moisture cannot penetrate WEAR-A-THON® , water cannot freeze to its surface.
