What is UHMWPE?

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with exceptionally long molecular chains, which results in outstanding mechanical properties. 

With a molecular weight typically between 2 and 6 million daltons, UHMWPE exhibits:

  • Exceptional Wear Resistance: Offers significantly higher abrasion resistance than most materials, including steel.
  • Self-Lubricating Surface: Reduces friction without the need for additional lubrication.
  • Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains structural integrity in humid environments.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resists various chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents.
  • Impact Strength: Demonstrates high resistance to impact and shock loading.

Applications of UHMWPE

Our UHMWPE products are utilised across various sectors:

  • Marine Industry: Used for fender facing pads, dock protection, and boat hull liners due to its resistance to saltwater and UV degradation.
  • Material Handling: Ideal for chutes, hoppers, and conveyor systems, reducing wear and enhancing efficiency.
  • Mining and Mineral Processing: Used in liners and wear plates to withstand abrasive materials.
  • Food Processing: Employed in food-safe applications like cutting boards and conveyor components.
  • Agriculture: Used for liners in silos and grain handling equipment to prevent clogging and reduce friction.
