Product Description

ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) 

is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), or high performance polyethylene (HPPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 2 and 6 million u.

The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening inter molecular interactions. 

Property of UHMWPE strip

Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal;

UHMWPE strip has better abrasion resistance than PTFE, 15 times more than carbon steel.

With the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made;

UHMWPE strip 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; this property rank the second lower than PTFE.
