Product Description

Product Introduction

UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a high-density polyethylene with a weight average molecular weight of about 1 million or more, commonly known as aUPEa. It is mainly used for applications requiring low friction coefficient, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance such as guide rails, chain guides, chain conveyors, and rollers for conveying machines, because of its best impact resistance and abrasion resistance all thermoplastic plastics.

Product Type

1. UPE NAT2. UPE ESDAntistatic grade of UPE keeps the surface resistance in the range of R6 ~ R9 continuously.It can be used for static electricity prevention in electric, electronic industry and clean room equipments.3. UPE ASTThe antistatic grade of UPE keeps the surface resistance in the range of R2 ~ R5 continuously.It can be used for static electricity prevention in electric, electronic industry and clean room equipments.4. UPE CNTIt is a high-grade material that dramatically improves antistatic function by using the advanced method of compounding carbon nanotube (Carbon Nano Tube) with existing UHMW-PE. It keeps the stable property, electric conductivity, and resistance constantly regardless of changes in the surrounding environment. It can be used as a material for various semiconductors, LCD equipment, and precision electronic equipment.

Outstanding Mechanical Properties

UHMW PE sheets stand out for their high impact strength and superior abrasion resistance, making them ideal for rigorous applications. The material also attains a tensile strength of 30 MPa and elongation at break up to 350%, ensuring excellent flexibility and longevity.

Chemical and Environmental Performance

The excellent chemical resistance and very low coefficient of friction make UHMW PE an optimal solution in environments where exposure to corrosive substances or frequent sliding wear occurs. The sheets function reliably across a wide temperature range of -150C to +80C, with moderate UV resistance included.

Versatile Applications and Availability

Available in white sheet form and optioned as food grade upon request, UHMW PE adapts to diverse uses including food processing, handling equipment, and industrial machinery. As a trusted distributor and exporter based in Korea South, we deliver UHMW PE worldwide to suit your project needs.

FAQ's of UHMW PE:

Q: How is UHMW PE typically used in industrial applications?

A: UHMW PE sheets are commonly implemented in conveyor systems, wear strips, chute liners, and food processing equipment due to their superior impact strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical durability.

Q: What benefits does UHMW PE offer over standard polyethylene?

A: UHMW PE possesses much higher impact strength, extremely low water absorption, and greater resistance to abrasion and chemicals than regular polyethylene, making it better suited for harsh or demanding operating conditions.

Q: When should I opt for food-grade UHMW PE sheets?

A: Food-grade UHMW PE is recommended for environments where direct contact with food is expected, such as in food processing plants or packaging lines. It is available upon request to comply with safety regulations.

Q: Where can UHMW PE sheets be sourced globally?

A: UHMW PE sheets can be sourced through our distribution network in Korea South. We export and supply worldwide to accommodate various regional requirements and specifications.

Q: What is the process for ordering custom UHMW PE sheet dimensions?

A: To order UHMW PE sheets in specific sizes or thicknesses, contact us with your requirements. Our manufacturing and supply capabilities enable tailored solutions to fit your application.

Q: How does the self-extinguishing property of UHMW PE enhance safety?

A: UHMW PE's self-extinguishing nature means it halts combustion once the heat source is removed, reducing fire risks in environments where material exposure to high temperatures or sparks is possible.

Q: What are the advantages of the very low coefficient of friction in UHMW PE?

A: A very low coefficient of friction ensures minimal resistance during movement, improving equipment efficiency, lowering energy requirements, and reducing wear on both the UHMW PE sheets and contacting parts.
