Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Tubing
What is UHMW-PE? UHMW-PE stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene . It is the highest quality polyethylene (PE) available, designed for heavy-duty work and a wide range of applications. It brings savings in a series of heavy applications . The ultra-high molecular weight is the secret of the unique properties of this polymer. Its high-density polyethylene resin weights molecule ranging from 3 to 6 million, compared to 300,000 to 500,000 for (HMW) resins. That difference is what ensures that this material is strong enough to withstand abrasion and impact better than lower-level poly products. The high molecular weight of UHMW-PE means that it will not melt or flow like a molten liquid. The processing methods are derived from those metal powder technologies . UHMW-PE cannot be processed and shaped by conventional plastic processing techniques (injection molding, blow molding, or thermoforming). Compression molding is the most common conversion process use...
