Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE)
UHMW-PE is defined as polyethylene whose molecular weight is 3.1 million or higher. As with most high-performance polymers, processing of UHMW-PE is not easy.Current manufacturing methods include compression molding, ram extrusion . UHMW-PE has outstanding abrasion resistance and an extremely low coefficient of friction. Impact strength is high and chemical resistance is excellent. The material does not break in impact strength tests using standard notched specimens; double-notched specimens break at 20 ft-lb/in (42.1 kJ/m2).
UHMW-PE APPLICATIONS
Conveyor wear strips
Snowmobile track sprockets
Guide rails
Bearings
Paper machine suction box covers
Parts of textile looms
Chute linings
Pipe for distribution of slurry materials
Other components requiring maximum abrasion
resistance and impact strength and a low friction coefficient
