Soucy Plastiques uses a compression moulding process that allows us to produce, from a UHMW-PE powder, a wide range of parts to suit your needs. These parts can be machined or integrated with other materials such as rubber.

More and more manufacturers choose UHMW-PE instead of metals, alloys and other plastics to benefit from the following advantages:

· Less expensive than steel and other metals

· Suitable for the manufacturing of complex or detailed parts

· Ideal for combining multiple parts into a single one

· Corrosion resistant, providing a perfect alternative to metal

· Resistant to abrasion, wear and impact, better than carbon steel

· Excellent adhesion to rubber and metal

· Nontoxic, approved by the FDA and USDA: ideal for food applications

· Self-lubricating

· Sliding, with a low coefficient of friction

· Flexible, shape-memory polymer

· Unbreakable with high break elongation

· Inert and resistant to many chemicals

· Sound absorbing, unlike metals

· Waterproof, does not swell

· Light

· Resistant to a wide range of temperatures (-73 to 80 °C)

· Antistatic

· Recyclable

· Thermo-dimensionally stable

· Suitable for manufacturing colored parts, and even parts with patterns
