Extruded Profiles - Plastic
Dotmar supplies extruded engineering plastic profiles, primarily manufactured from UHMWPE, for demanding industrial wear and guide applications.
UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) extruded profiles offer an outstanding combination of low friction, exceptional abrasion resistance and high impact strength. These profiles provide a cost-effective alternative to metal components in sliding, wear and guide applications, reducing noise and eliminating the need for external lubrication.
Dotmar stocks a wide selection of standard profiles including flat bars, angles, channels and specialised conveyor guide sections, all machinable to customer specification. Every profile is produced to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and long service life in harsh production environments.
Key Features
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- High impact strength
- Good chemical resistance
- Noise-dampening and self-lubricating
- Wide range of standard and custom profiles available
Extruded profiles are widely used as chain guides, wear strips, bar capping, slide rails, and scuff plates in conveyor systems across the food processing, packaging, beverage, and material handling industries. They are also suited to marine, agricultural and general engineering applications where corrosion resistance and low friction are required.
