There are 3 main material we can manufacture the slides from, all with different properties, load carrying capabilities and operating temperatures.
UHMW
Standard UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) Polyethylene is an economical bearing material that provides a stable platform, good load carrying capability and moderate temperature range.
Super Slide
Mid-Range Product that has exceptional load carrying capabilities and higher temperature ranges.
Super Tough
High-Temp Product that has exceptional load carrying capabilities, although not as high as the Super Slide.
