Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), Polystone Ultra, not only reduces friction, wear, clogging and noise compared with metal, but also never needs lubrication.

Virtually unbreakable, Polystone Ultra is especially formulated for optimum sliding characteristics and resistance to wear and abrasion. This means it is ideally suited to mechanical transmission support products and to flow promotion.

Increase Chain Life
Polystone Ultra displays some of its greatest benefits when employed as chain wear guide strips or profiles. Excessive chain wear leads to premature – and often unpredicted – chain elongation. This introduces chain oscillation, destabilises the chain drive, and reduces the operational life of the chain. Elimination of these problems cuts downtime and maintenance, substantially reducing overall costs and minimising the risk of expensive disruption caused by unscheduled breaks in production.

Key features and benefits of Polystone Ultra:

  • Impact strength combined with light weight: It is easy to handle without special equipment (having a specific gravity of 0.93).
  • Physiologically inert: Approved for food applications.
  • Electrical insulation: It is a good insulator, with very high dielectric Strength.
  • Weatherproof: It doesn’t absorb water.
  • Chemically resistant: It resists corrosive material (such as sulphuric acid, caustic soda).
  • Abrasion resistant: Rated better than carbon steel for sliding abrasion applications.
  • Low coefficient of friction: It does not require lubrication.

Polyslide System & Murtfeldt Chain Tensioners
Polystone Ultra addresses the problem of chain wear with the Polyslide system of chain guides, slide profiles and Murtfeldt automatic chain tensioners, which all incorporate this versatile material. It suits a broad range of industrial applications including packaging, assembly, general engineering, chemical production, food and beverage processing, timber handling and conveying and elevating.

Ezyslide Linings
Polystone Ultra provides benefits for product storage; also with the heavy duty trucking industry, in the form of liners for tanks, bins and truck trays. In industrial sectors ranging from fine foods to mining, operators can solve the problem of handling cohesive, wet or sticky materials with the use of Polystone Ultra.
