    cliff,
    at last ! something I can help on. 
"  I am curious about the heat and insulation properties of this plastic. "

UHMW PE has excellent electrical properties and is a pretty darn good
thermal insulator. this causes us problems when using in enclosed bearing
applications.mechanical  properties degrade rapidly after 180 *F.

I will e-mail you a specification sheet. my gut tells me that other
materials (e.g. G-10,GPO,ect
may be more suitable
