DISCOUNTED UHMW Cutting Edges
This listing is for UHMW cut-offs. Select the size of UHMW you desire and you will receive pieces from 2 to 4 ft that together add up to your total length.
Protects like rubber. Cuts like steel.
UHMW is a plastic used in a variety of extreme weather applications due to its versatility, strength, and resistance.
The material itself is virtually unbreakable and not affected by the extreme cold. The heavy-duty plastic has better resistance and is quieter than steel, making it more gentle on road surfaces. This is hands-down the better choice for snow plowing surfaces that you care about because it is less damaging to cobblestone and driveways.
UHMW has the added benefit of being flexible enough to not require specialized hardware to mount edges and drill bolt holes.
And you can get double the life from a single piece of UHMW by reversing it when one side wears down.
*Our UHMW is sold as blanks, ready for you to drill, trim, and add hardware (hardware can be found here).

UHMW Advantages
- Very low coefficient of friction
- Self-lubricating
- Highly resistant to wear and abrasion
- Highly resistant to corrosive chemicals (except oxidizing acids)
- Easy to fabricate and machine with common shop and woodworking tools
- Extremely low moisture absorption
- Extends equipment life and paved surface life
- Odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic
Technical Information:
UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a machinable plastic known for durability, versatility and cost-effectiveness. It is sometimes the superior material because of its resistance to abrasion, impact, chemical, and temperature.
UHMW doesn’t require grease or oil, making it ideal when friction can pose a problem. Due to its extremely low friction coefficient, heat-generating friction is minimized resulting in smoother and quieter use versus an alternative such as steel. This self-lubricating property helps with wear and tear, extending the life of the parts.
*Please note, UHMW is sold as blanks. Pieces are not pre-drilled nor is hardware included.
