For use with the Mayku Multiplier.
UHMW (also known as UHMW-PE) stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, which is a type of thermoplastic material characterized by its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent abrasion resistance, low friction coefficient, and impact resistance. Its strength and ability to resist wear and tear can, in some cases, outperform traditional steel components.
