U.H.M.W.P.E.
is Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene.
UHMWPE is a very rigid material for use in general plant
engineering where the unique properties, excellent impact
strength, wear and abrasion resistance are required.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
- Excellent
impact resistance
- High
mechanical strength
- Resistant
to many solvents
- Very
good electrical insulator
- Excellent
abrasion resistance
- Very
high damping properties
- Continuous
use temp. of -269 to 80 Deg. Cent.
- Minimum
water absorption (0.01%)
- Extremely
low co-efficient of friction
- F.D.A.
approved for food and drug industries
CHEMICAL
RESISTANCE
UHMWPE is resistant to Acids, Salts & salt solutions,
Alcohols, oils, fats, waxes & many solvents.
All PE material is affected by strong oxidizing agents
such as nitric acid, chromic acid or halogens.
Aromatics and Halogenated hydrocarbons cause swelling.
U.V
RESISTANCE
Sheet & Rod products of UHMWPE are supplied in
two colours
White which is non UV
Black which is UV.
APPLICATIONS
Flow promoting liners to resist sliding abrasion and
to assist release, Conveyor components subject to high wear
and requiring low friction. Componentry in direct contact
with food stuffs. Parts subject to high impact stresses.
