General Info
HMW offers a higher molecular weight than HDPE Polyethylene and improved impact strength, abrasion resistance and lower coefficient of friction when compared to HDPE. It has a much lower molecular weight than UHMW and is sometimes considered as an economical alternative to UHMW, where the much higher impact, abrasion resistance and other superior properties that UHMW offer may not be needed.

Limitations
- Lower Molecular Weight than UHMW
- Lower Overall Properties & Performance when compared to UHMW
Applications
- Bucket and Shovel Liners
- Truck Liners
