Wear strips

UHMW-PE – Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene

Wear strips

Our wear strips are made of pure PE 1000 material in thicknesses of 2–6 mm. They are available in green, black and white. The strips’ standard widths are 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 mm. Other widths are made to order.
