U.H.M.W.P.E - Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene

U.H.M.W.P.E Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene

Trade Names: Polystone UHMWPE is a very rigid material for use in general plant engineering where the unique properties, excellent impact strength, wear and abrasion resistance are required.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Excellent impact resistance
High mechanical strength
Resistant to many solvents
Very good electrical insulator
Excellent abrasion resistance
Very high damping properties
Continuous use temp. of -269 to 80 Deg. Cent.
Minimum water absorption (0.01%)
Extremely low co-efficient of friction

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
UHMWPE is resistant to Acids, Salts & salt solutions, Alcohols, oils, fats, waxes & many solvents.
All PE material is affected by strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid, chromic acid or halogens.
Aromatics and Halogenated hydrocarbons cause swelling.

U.V RESISTANCE
Sheet & Rod products of UHMWPE are supplied in two colours
White which is non UV
Black which has a slightly higher UV protection than white.

APPLICATIONS
Flow promoting liners to resist sliding abrasion and to assist release, Conveyor components subject to high wear and requiring low friction. Componentry in direct contact with food stuffs. Parts subject to high impact stresses.

COLOUR RANGE
White & BlackUHMWPE can be supplied in Sheet & Rod
