Characteristics of UHMWPE Material
wear-resistant Excellent wear resistance among plastics; wear performance improves with higher molecular weight.
impact resistant The impact strength of UHMWPE is related to its molecular weight, peaking at approximately 2 million; as the molecular weight increases beyond this point, the impact strength may decrease.
self-lubricating Low friction coefficient with outstanding self-lubricating property, ideal for bearings and bushings.
corrosion resistant Resistant to most acids, alkalis, water and detergents, except concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
non-water-absorbing Extremely low water absorption, much less swelling than nylon.
low-temperature resistant It has a heat deflection temperature of 85°C, can be used at temperatures up to 90°C under light loads, and retains ductility at -269°C.
Excellent electrical performance Maintains high resistivity and breakdown voltage over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
non-toxic Odorless and tasteless, compliant with FDA & USDA standards, safe for food and pharmaceutical contact.
energy absorption Great ability to absorb impact energy for buffer and shock absorption applications.
UV-resistant Resists ultraviolet radiation, suitable for outdoor exposure.
light in weight Low density, lighter than most engineering plastics, helps reduce overall equipment load.

Application

UPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) offers excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, impact strength, and ease of processing, and is food-grade compliant. It is widely used for wear-resistant parts in conveying machinery, corrosion-resistant components for harsh environments, and shock-absorbing elements. It serves as a material for various mechanical components—such as worms, bushings, sliding plates, guide rails, guide plates, washers, trench covers, hopper liners, partitions, fender panels, temporary roadway mats, and can-turning devices—as well as other machined plastic parts.

Customized products can also be manufactured to meet specific environmental requirements by incorporating special additives, such as rubber-modified sheets, anti-static sheets, radiation-shielding sheets (containing rubber), and UV-resistant sheets.
