For over four decades, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been used as one-half of the metal- or ceramic-on-plastic bearing couple in total joint replacement (TJR) components due to its toughness, durability, and biological inertness ( Kurtz 2004 ). Though there are metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couples, the

Product Introduction. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene board, also known as UHMWPE board, is a thermoplastic material with very good comprehensive properties. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet has good wear resistance, impact resistance and self-lubricating properties, and is lighter in specific gravity, easy to use, moderately priced, and extremely cost-effective.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene sheets are comprised of extremely long chains of polyethylene making it one of the toughest materials available, with a very high impact strength. UHMW PE is preferred for its resistance to weathering, it’s performance properties that make it safe for food handling/processing, and it’s remarkable strength.
UHMW, also known as UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 180° F (82° C). It is categorized as an engineering material, and offers a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, a low-friction surface, and high impact strength.
UHMW Polyethylene Sheet 1″x12″x12″ Black Color UHMW , also known as high molecular weight polyethylene. Ultra High Molecular weight polyethylene is an extremely high abrasion resistant material. UHMW resist wear . friction and corrosion and thus it cuts maintenance costs , energy consumption and extends equipment life.
UHMWPE ( Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene ) to solve friction, wear and material flow problems in many areas of industry. The material is distinguished for its outstanding sliding properties, extreme wear resistance, high impact strength and very high resistance to chemicals and has established itself in technical applications.
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Materials (UHMW) Data Sheet Trevor Shive 2020-07-14T12:00:54-05:00. UHMW, or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It features extremely long chains and as a result is a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently
UHMW Polyethylene. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, mm known as UHMW or UHMW-PE, is a lightweight and long-wearing engineering plastic material. Many variations of UHMW are available including FDA mpliant, Static Dissipative and UV resistant to name a few. These variants allow UHMW shapes to be machined int parts for a variety
The opaque white UHMW sheet has a standard tolerance and meets American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM D4020 specifications. UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) polyethylene is an impact-, chemical-, and moisture-resistant plastic that has excellent abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface.
2.5.7 Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) belongs to the thermoplastic PE with a molecular mass usually between 2 and 6 million. As an extended chain PE fiber, it can produced by gel spinning, which yields a highly oriented fibrous structure with exceptionally high crystallinity (95–99%
UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) polyethylene is an impact-, chemical-, and moisture-resistant plastic that has excellent abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface. UHMW is more rigid than LDPE and HDPE, and has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.
Product performance:Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) because of its viscosity average molecular weight of -1200 million in the 1500000 (common polyethylene 2-3 million) given its superior performance:1 wear resistanceThe wear resistance of UHMW-PE in the plastic crown, and exceed certain metals, wear resistance and molecular weight of UHMW-PE was directly proportional to the
This Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene will outwear all other materials, including metals, nylons, urethanes, and fluoroplastics. Applications include guide rails, wear plates, rollers, conveyor augers, bin and hopper lines, chutes, bearings, bushings, and gears. Exceptionally high abrasion & impact resistance; Low coefficient of friction
