How Much Do You Know About UHMWPE?

 Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a type of polyethylene with a very high molecular weight. It is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with a high strength-to-density ratio, excellent impact resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. UHMWPE has excellent wear resistance and is highly resistant to chemicals and UV radiation, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications where durability and performance are important.

 

UHMWPE is Used in a Variety of Products, Including:

1. Industrial wear parts, such as bearings, gears, and wear strips.
2. Medical implants, such as hip and knee replacements.
3. Personal protective equipment, such as helmets liners, bulletproof vests, and cut-resistant gloves.
4. Conveyor and processing equipment, such as guide rails, wear strips, and chain guides.
5. Consumer goods, such as ice skates, snowboard bindings, and self-lubricating bearings.
6. Used for making sheets.

 

UHMWPE sheet

 

UHMWPE As a Sheet Has the Following Advantages:

1. Highest wear resistance of all polymers, UHMWPE sheet is 6 times more wear resistant than steel
2. Resistant to weathering and aging.
3. Self-lubricating with extremely low coefficient of friction.
4. Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance.
5. Excellent impact resistance, sound absorption, vibration absorption.
6. Temperature range: -2600C~+800C; very high resistance to weathering, not brittle even at -1800C.
7. High tensile strength.
8. Non-toxic and odorless.
9. UV resistant.
10. Flame retardant; relatively low water absorption rate.
11. Excellent electrical properties.
12. Good resistance to environmental stress cracking, 200 times better than ordinary PE.
13. Non-adhesive.
14. Light weight, easier to handle and fix.
15. Cost-effective, low energy consumption.
16. No rotting, splitting or cracking; 100% recyclable Suitable.
17. Quality lining material for industrial material handling applications is easy to reprocess.

UHMWPE is known for its strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for high-wear applications. It is also resistant to moisture, making it suitable for use in damp or wet environments. If you want to know more information about UHMWPE sheet or HDPE sheet​, please contact us.

Brief Introduction of UHMWPE Marine Fender Panel

图片
Marine Fenders   are bumpers designed to absorb the kinetic energy of a vessel berthing against a jetty, quay or another vessel. They prevent damages to boats, vessels and berthing structures.   Well-designed docking fender systems absorb the ship's impact at docking, transforming ship berthing energies into reactions, transmitting to both the ships and berth structures. There are different types and ranges of fenders, depending on many variables, including dimension and displacement of boats, maximum allowable stand-off, specific berthing structure, tidal variations and other conditions. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) dock fender could avoid the impact damage between ships and dock.   On account of the high impact resistance performance, UHMWPE dock fender instead of the traditional steel ones is widely used in ports and docks at home and abroad.     For more information about  UHMWPE MARINE FENDER PANEL , don't hesitate to  contact us .
