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 used with this resin because it produces a stronger, more consistent product.

Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) is a polymer designed with a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction, and impact resistance. UHMW is resistant to chemical attack and moisture absorption and retains its key physical properties at -30 ° C.

The very high molecular weight (UHMW) of polyethylene mostly outlives all other materials, including metals, nylon, urethane, and fluoroplastics.

Other attributes of UHMW Ultra High Molecular Weight Sheet products include:

• Should be resistant to abrasion

• Should have a low coefficient of friction

• Should be easy to machine

• Should have a low noise level

• Should be self-lubricating

• Should not absorb moisture

• Should be non-toxic and have a low friction

• Should have a high Impact strength (will not break or shatter)

• Should be resistant to chemical

• Should be FDA and USDA accepted

Applications include: spindles, bearings, chain grommets, chain guides, duct covers, gears, grain separators, casting liners, guides, mixers, blades, roller guides, spiral freezers, separators, ventilation plates and filters, carrying straps

DIFFERENT TYPES OF UHMW AVAILABLE INCLUDE:

• UHMW NATURAL SHEET

• UHMW NATURAL ROD

• UHMW TUBE

UHMW plastic films can be used for various industrial applications including, but not limited to:

• Plastic production

• Food processing

• Gears and gears

• Truck lining

• Hydrofoil polymer

• Paper and Registration

• Mining, agro-industrial, and electrical industry

• Defense systems, springs, helmets

All the Major Benefits That UHMW Brings With It

Image
  Also commonly referred to as Ultra-High Molecular Weight,  UHMW  is a particular type of polyethylene that has been engineered for superior performance in a vast array of different types of applications. Because of its incredible strength and durability, UHMW is employed in a host of different machining applications - particularly for those components that are necessary for commercial and industrial environments. Even though UHMW is technically a plastic, it is engineered via a number of techniques that are usually employed with metals. All told, UHMW brings with it a wide range of different benefits - all of which are worth a closer look. The Power of UHMW: Breaking Things Down By far, one of the biggest advantages that UHMW materials bring with them has to do with the low moisture absorption that they've become known for. UHMW has an absorption rate of less than 0.01%, making it an ideal solution for any application that will coexist with high levels of moisture or even h

Plastic Extrusions

 Plastic extrusions are used today in all the major industries that are present in our current days. We are facing the fastest rhythm of technological evolution that has ever been recorded and it would appear that plastic materials are here to help us in this evolutionary race. We should, first of all, discuss the advantages of plastic. A material that is not quite natural it is used almost in all industries and has some great features and advantages for any application. It is very lightweight and can be easily molded into any shape desired for any purpose . It is also very easy to produce thus it will also be very cheap to buy and use in your company's profiles. The best and worst property that plastic has is that it lasts a very long time. This is why it is one of the main materials used today in all industries; however, it is not biodegradable and if left in nature will keep its shape and properties and will not be incorporated into the soil. There are many species t

Plastic Fabrication - A Focus on the Services Offered

Image
Gathering of plastic parts won't be conceivable without the guide of plastic creation . Under such administrations, framing, twisting and machining of plastics are likewise included. Various procedures are regularly utilized relying upon the material that an organization deals with. A rundown of materials considered in the process is Plexiglas, polycarbonate , polymeric and acrylics.  There are different applications for plastic creation. Think about the many employments of plastic and one will positively discover what these applications are. Plastic tanks are extremely normal models and are utilized in enormous aquariums to add ability to address the strain from huge loads of water. Somewhat , a similar assistance is used in synthetic storage spaces for a wide cluster of concerns.  Cycles for plastic creation administrations  There are a few cycles utilized in machining plastic parts. The manufacture is really done through the assistance of framing, directing and twisting. Plastic
