UHMWPE polyethylene plastic block / colored hard plastic sheets

UHMWPE Profile                                                                                      

UHMWPE is the abbreviation of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. This is the most excellent quality available for use in harsh working environments and in a variety of applications. Applicability is very good in many highly difficult applications.

UHMWPE is a product that have many advantages that not to many plastics and be used many fileds.

The advantage of UHMWPE                                                                     

1.    Wear-resistance

The wear resistance of UHMWPE ranks first in plastic, and exceeds that of certain metals.

2.    Impact resistance

The impact strength of UHMWPE at the top of all engineering plastic.

3.    Self-lubrication

UHMWPE has a very low coefficient of friction(0.05-0.11),so that it has a very good self-lubrication.

4.    Corrosion resistance

UHMWPE has excellent resistance to chemicals,in addition to the strong oxidizing acid,in a certain temperature and the concentration range of competence of various corrosive medium (acid,alkali,salt) and various organic media.

5.    Absorb impact energy

UHMWPE has excellent shock absorption,impact energy absorption value is the highest in all plastic,and it has a excellent effect of the silencer.

6.    Low temperature resistance

UHMWPE has excellent low temperature resistance,and can be used as a low temperature component in the nuclear industry because of its still have the ductility at low temperature (-269℃).

7.    Hygiene and no toxicity

UHMWPE sanitary non-toxic,fully comply with the standards of the Japanese Health Association,and the United States Food and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture approved,can be used to contact the food and drug.

8.    Not easy adhesion

UHMWPE surface adsorption force is very weak, its ability to resist adhesion to the plastic is next only to the best PTFE, so the surface of the product and other materials are not easy to stick.

9.    Hydrophobic property

UHMWPE water absorption rate is very low, generally less than 0.01%, only 1% of PA6, and therefore do not need to dry before processing.

10.  Tensile strength

As the UHMWPE has the necessary structural characteristics of the super tension orientation, so there is no comparable ultra-high tensile strength, its tensile strength up to 3 - 3.5GPa.
