We get asked this more than almost anything else: ‘which plastic do I actually need?’ Picking the wrong one
usually shows up as premature wear, not total failure, which makes it easy to miss until you’re reordering
more often than you should be.
| Material | Best For | Watch Out For |
| UHMWPE | Impact resistance, wear surfaces | Lower max service temp than PTFE |
| HDPE | General-purpose piping, sheet stock | Less impact resistant than UHMWPE |
| PTFE | Chemical inertness, high-temp seals | Higher cost, softer material |
No. UHMWPE has a much higher molecular weight, giving it significantly better impact and abrasion resistance.
