Is it possible to cast PE-UHMW in a mold and retain its strength.  If
it is as a bonus please provide as much detail as possible as to the
process and equipment required to do this for an additional $5.

UHMW-PE's high molecular weight means it will not melt or flow as a
molten liquid. Processing methods are therefore derived from those of
powder metal technology. UHMW-PE cannot be transformed and molded by
conventional plastic processing techniques (injection molding, blow
molding or thermoforming). Compression molding is the most common
conversion process used with this resin, producing a stronger, more
consistent product.
