Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Sheet

As the big thermoplastic sheet manufacturer in China, Xinxing supplies Natural, Single and Dual(double) Colors UHMWPE/HMWPE Sheet (plate, board, panel) for meeting market requirement. Xinxing has the most advanced Compression Molded and Extruding Machines to produce high quality UHMWPE/HMWPE sheet with composite material under the certain pressure and temperature.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-molecular weight polyethylene, (HMWPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.

UHMWPE is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic. It embodies all the characteristics of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with the added traits of being resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis, as well as numerous organic solvents. It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals; has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction; is self-lubricating (see boundary lubrication); and is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal and is comparable to that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), but UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.
