Plastic PE-UHMW (PE-1000) Sheets Black 2x1meter
What is UHMWPE Boards?
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with a linear structure with excellent comprehensive properties. UHMWPE plate is a polymer compound that is difficult to process, and has the characteristics of super wear resistance, self-lubrication, relatively high strength, stable chemical properties, and strong anti-aging properties.
This Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene will outwear all other materials, including metals, nylons, urethanes, and fluoroplastics. Applications include guide rails, wear plates, rollers, conveyor augers, bin and hopper lines, chutes, bearings, bushings, and gears.
Exceptionally high abrasion & impact resistance
Low coefficient of friction
Self-lubricating with a non-adherent surface
Cuts maintenance costs & extends equipment life
Corrosion resistance; same qualities of other PE
Use mechanical fasteners in construction
Temperature range: -60°F to 180°F
The features of UHMWPE Boards:
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene sheet has an incredible resistance to abrasion. It will outperform almost any engineering plastic for abrasion resistance.
Another important property is its incredibly low coefficient of friction. It is one of the lowest of all engineering plastics and will produce components with a very high life span with very low drag, which means very little will stick to it.
Because the Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene sheet has very low moisture absorption, it is also found in some high-demand areas of marine applications.
UHMWPE plate is easy to machine. The engineering plastic can be machined into virtually anything, from small gears and bearings plates to huge wear guides that until recently were only possible with metals. It not only outperforms metal in abrasion applications, it's also easier to machine and therefore cheaper. This versatile plastic can be milled, planed, sawed and drilled to create a huge variety of parts at a very competitive price. What makes UHMWPE plate such a distinctive and useful engineering plastic is its combination of excellent properties.
