UHWM Characteristics
UHMW (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) offers a combination of exceptional properties. This thermoplastic material is tough with superior impact strength. It is corrosion-resistant and exhibits virtually no water absorption. It is also wear-resistant, non-sticking and self-lubricating.
UHMW is an excellent choice for many industrial applications. It reduces noise and vibration, is chemical-resistant and non-toxic and offers excellent mechanical properties even in cryogenic conditions. Characteristics include:
- Non-toxic
- Low coefficient of friction
- Corrosion, abrasion, wear and impact resistant
- Extremely low water absorption
- FDA and USDA approved
Applications for UHMW Thermoplastic
- Chute linings
- Food processing parts
- Chemical tanks
- Conveyor guides
- Wear pads
