UHMW Plate | Premium UHMW Polyethylene Sheet for Industry
Overview
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Board is a high-performance thermoplastic material known for its exceptional strength, durability, and versatility. With a molecular weight ranging from 3 to 9 million g/mol, UHMWPE offers superior properties compared to standard polyethylene, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and specialized applications.
Key Properties
- High Wear Resistance: UHMWPE boards exhibit outstanding resistance to abrasion, outlasting many other materials in harsh environments.
- Low Friction Coefficient: The material has a self-lubricating surface, reducing friction and wear in applications involving sliding or moving parts.
- Impact Strength: Even at low temperatures, UHMWPE maintains excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for demanding conditions.
- Chemical Resistance: It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, acids, and alkalis, ensuring long-term performance in aggressive environments.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, UHMWPE is lightweight, offering ease of handling and installation.
- Non-Toxic and Food-Safe: UHMWPE is FDA-approved for food contact, making it suitable for applications in the food processing industry.
- UV and Moisture Resistance: The material withstands prolonged exposure to moisture and UV radiation without degrading.
