Description
What is UHMWPE Sheet?
UHMWPE sheet (Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene) to solve friction, wear and material flow problems in many areas of industry. The material is distinguished for its outstanding sliding properties, extreme wear resistance, high impact strength and very high resistance to chemicals and has established itself in technical applications.
UHMWPE is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic. It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals except oxidizing acids; has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction; is self-lubricating; and is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is comparable to that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), but UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Super high wear resistance: wear resistance is 8-10 times that of carbon steel.
- Superior impact resistance: impact resistance, smash resistance, strength up to more than 130KJ/㎡.
- Good non-stickiness: non-stickiness with most powder, block, mud and other materials.
- Excellent corrosion resistance: corrosion resistance of all kinds of acid and alkali.
