Snow Plow Blades

Heavy snow can be expected this year, and snow removal contractors, public work departments, homeowners, farmers, and ranchers will all need to pitch in to help keep everyone safe. Unfortunately, regular snowplows can quickly mar asphalt and concrete with unsightly scratches and holes and cobblestone with ugly, useless grooves that ruin their appearance and limit or end their lifespan prematurely.

Shapes Plastics has an affordable, long-lasting solution for this situation - UHMW plastics!

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) is a polymer with high molecular weight, high strength and hardness, good dimensional stability, good chemical stability, and low friction coefficient. It has perfection abrasion resistance and impact strength with a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

UHMW has almost no moisture absorption (can be saturated with water without swelling), which makes it an excellent material for snow plow blades in the winter because the blades are constantly exposed to ice, snow, saltwater, etc., but don't become brittle or crack when they are frozen or wet. Here are many of this plastic as snowplow cutting edge material.

Buffering The Metal Plow Blade

Plastic application in snowplow blades has been used to solve some common problems that have been happening in the standard blades. One issue is that ice will form on the blade, which will cause it to become heavier and harder to push back down onto the ground. The second issue is that when these blades are exposed to salt, they will become brittle.

UHMW plastic helps solve both these problems by making them more flexible and strengthening them against salt exposure. Snowplow cutting edges made out of UHMW, or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, improve efficiency by keeping steel plow blades smooth and free of scratches while making cleanup easier on the operator thanks to these plastic shaving edges' slippery texture -- perfect for keeping snow and ice off-setting buildup on the metal blade. These benefits make plastic plow blades more than suitable for heavy-duty commercial and public works use.

Lowering Maintenance Cost

Plastic plow blades are the go-to solution for municipalities that don't have high budgets for snow removal equipment or keep plows on hand during bad weather. These are beneficial for smaller municipalities that need to clear limited amounts of snow because they are less expensive than metal blades and can be molded into any shape desired. They are also easier to create and install because they do not require heavy machinery, which can be cost-prohibitive for small towns with limited funding.

The Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene plastic in snowplow blades is made from a high-density polyethylene polymer that is resistant to moisture and can resist the forces of friction. These snowplow blades last incredibly long. UHMW plastic in snowplow blades is great for handling extreme temperatures. This material also provides a higher degree of anti-slip properties, reducing the chance of accidents.

Reducing Wear

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene plastic cutting edges are very strong. They are suitable for ATV, truck-mounted plow blades, payloaders, skid loaders, and other bucket-mounted equipment. These cutting edges are intended to cut through ice covers on paved surfaces while also being versatile for working on the job site.

UHMW snowplow blades feature a slick surface that makes them easy to clean and reduce friction with any accompanying metal fittings. Depending on the price and reinforcement of the tool and accessories necessary to effectively and comfortably hook up a poly plow, this particular type of plow can serve you for a longer time than anticipated.

If you want a safer alternative to metal blades, there are many benefits to plastic snowplow blades. Plastic snowplow blades are lightweight, durable, and affordable. They are more flexible than metal at high speeds, so you don't have to worry about them snapping in two during a collision.
