Description
What is UHMW Plastic Sheet?
UHMW plastic sheet is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It has extremely long chains, resulting in a very tough material, with high impact strength. Its coefficient of friction is comparable to that of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) but it has better abrasion resistance. UHMPE is an outstanding bearing material with exceptional sliding properties and remains tough even at low temperatures.
Application:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- General Conveyor Technology
- Chain & Cam Guidance
- General Engineering
- Food Industries
- Packing Industries
Key Features and Benefits:
- Impact Strength – it is virtually unbreakable
- Light weight – easy to handle without special equipment
- Electrical insulation – it is a good insulator
- Weatherproof – it doesn’t absorb water and is UV stable
- Chemical resistance – resists corrosive chemicals
(Sulfuric Acid, Caustic Soda) - Abrasion resistance – rated better than Carbon
- Steel for sliding abrasion applications
- Flow promotion – Ideal product for bulk material handling
