Trackstar Material Choices
Our standard Trackstar Guides are produced using only the highest quality virgin black UHMW-PE material to ensure minimum friction and maximum wear resistance. Standard profiles are available off the shelf, ready to ship today, with free shipping. We can also provide white or custom-colored UHMW. And for special applications, we can supply guides from enhanced UHMW with just a short lead-time. UHMW-PE has both the highest abrasion and impact resistance of virtually any plastic available today. Put this together with a low coefficient of friction and a self-lubricating, non-stick surface and you have a polymer that has an unlimited number of industrial applications.
Natural and reprocessed grades are still the most common, but special and premium grades are becoming more popular. When certain properties are required for an application, modifications can be made with additives and fillers that enhance the desired property. Not sure if you need a special product?
