Products Description
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate (UHMWPE) - The ultimate solution for high-performance engineering plastics
Key words: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate, characteristics of UHMWPE plate, Wear-resistant engineering plastic, impact-resistant material, food-grade plastic plate
Product Overview
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE for short) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with a molecular weight exceeding 1.5 million, renowned for its outstanding wear resistance, impact resistance and chemical stability. It is widely applied in fields such as mining machinery, logistics transportation, and medical equipment, and is hailed as the "King of New Materials in the 21st century".
Core advantages:
Wear resistance: 10 times higher than ordinary polyethylene, with a long service life.
Impact resistance: It can withstand the impact of extreme temperatures ranging from -200℃ to +80℃.
Self-lubricating property: The friction coefficient is as low as 0.07-0.11, reducing equipment energy consumption.
Food-grade certification: Compliant with FDA standards, suitable for the food processing and medical industries.
Lightweight: With a density of only 0.93-0.94g/cm³, it is easier to install than metal.
Application field
Key words of the target industry: Mining machinery liners, conveyor sliders, medical artificial joints, food processing equipment
Mining and construction machinery: Used for screen plates and silo linings to reduce material blockage and wear.
Logistics conveying system: As conveyor sliders and chain guide rails, it reduces noise and maintenance costs.
Medical equipment: Manufacturing artificial joints, surgical instrument trays, with excellent biocompatibility.
Food processing: Cutting boards and conveyor belts that meet HACCP standards, with no pollution risk.
Marine and Ocean engineering: Deck cladding and buoy materials resistant to seawater corrosion.
Production process and quality control
Extrusion molding: Suitable for mass production, the thickness of the sheet can be customized from 1 to 200mm.
Compression molding: High-precision control, suitable for complex shapes and special size requirements.
Certification standards: Passed international certifications such as ISO 9001, FDA, and EU 10/2011.
Purchasing Guide (Addressing Users' Search Intentions)
Demand matching: Select the appropriate thickness according to the wear resistance grade (such as ASTM D4060 standard).
Size customization: Supports secondary processing such as cutting, punching and curling.
Certification requirements: For the medical/food industry, it is necessary to explicitly request the FDA or SGS test report.
FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
A: Q1: What are the differences between UHMWPE and ordinary HDPE? A: The molecular weight is higher (1.5 million vs 200,000-500,000), significantly enhancing wear resistance and impact resistance.
Q2: Does it support use in high-temperature environments? A: The long-term operating temperature does not exceed +80℃, and it can withstand +100℃ for a short period (customized formula required).
Q3: Can it be processed into complex shapes? A: We support CNC machining and thermoforming. Customization is available upon providing the drawings.
