What Is the Characteristics of UHMWPE?

As we know, UHMWPE is called “amazing plastic”. Do you know its characteristics?

1. Abrasion Resistance

Its abrasion resistance is on the top of plastics, four times higher than nylon

66 and Teflon and five times higher than carbon steel.

2. Impact property

During all the commercially available project plastic, the impact property of UHMWPE is on the top. It is two times higher than PC, five times higher than ABS.

3. Lubricating property

Its friction coefficient is just 0.07-0.11. It is ideal self-lubrication material.

4. Anti-chemical Corrosive Action

UHMWPE has stable chemical properties.

5. Low temperature resistance.

It has perfect low temperature resistance with good ductility at liquid helium degree.

6. Stress Cracking Resistance Property

It has fine stress cracking resistance property. And the property raised with the increase in molecular weight.

7. Adhesion Resistance

It is rank only second to Teflon.

8. Electrical Insulating Property

UHMWPE has better electrical property and dielectric property than other polyolefin.

9. Wholesomeness

UHMWPE is safe, sanitary and nontoxic, which can touch the food and medicine directly.
