Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Shee

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Sheet is a super engineering plastic that is probably not as well known as some other engineering plastics but can out perform its relatives in a number of important areas. UHMWPE Sheet has a few very important properties and the first would be its incredible resistance to abrasion. UHMWPE can out perform almost any engineering plastic for abrasion resistance and UHMWPE is probably one of the best materials for lining chutes and hoppers for products such as sand, concrete or any other highly abrasive moving product. Another important property of UHMWPE Sheet is it's incredibly low co-efficient of friction, this is one of the lowest of all engineering plastics and will produce components with a very high life span with very low drag. UHMWPE Sheet is resistant to many dilute acids and solvents. Because UHMWPE has excellent abrasion resistance it is often used for lining chutes, hoppers and UHMWPE is also used for slideways and wear blocks in aggressive environments. UHMWPE Sheet is often found in food production environments where high volumes of containers need to be guided along conveyors or production lines. Because UHMWPE Sheet has very low moisture absorption, it is also found in some high demand areas of marine applications. UHMWPE is sometimes used in cryogenic components due to its low operating temperature abilities.
