UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, 超高分子量聚乙烯)
Description
UHMW-PE is a high-performance polyethylene that stands out for its exceptional abrasion resistance, self-lubricating properties, and impact strength. Its ultra-long polymer chains give it unique mechanical characteristics, such as extremely low friction and resistance to wear, even in harsh sliding and impact applications. With its combination of toughness and lightweight nature, UHMW-PE is widely used in demanding industrial sectors where reliability and longevity are crucial.

Introduction to UHMW-PE

What
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a specialized thermoplastic with an average molecular weight far higher than standard polyethylene. This structure provides superior resistance to wear and abrasion, combined with excellent impact toughness. It performs exceptionally well in dry, sliding, and load-bearing applications where lubrication is difficult or impossible. Although more challenging to machine due to its toughness and flexibility, it is a preferred choice in high-demand industrial applications.
Advantages
Outstanding abrasion and wear resistance
Extremely low coefficient of friction (self-lubricating)
High impact strength, even at low temperatures
Excellent chemical resistance
