note on the UHMW material:
"Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), also known as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE),
is a thermoplastic. It has extremely long chains, with molecular weight numbering in the millions, usually between 2 and 6 million.
The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions.
This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.
It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, with exception of oxidizing acids.
It has extremely low moisture absorption, has a very low coefficient of friction,
(great for sliding on all surfaces) is self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to abrasion
(15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel). "
