UHMW plastic sheets(ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance. The versatility of polyethylene has made it a popular plastic for countless industrial applications that require durability, low friction, and chemical resistance. UHMW is easy to fabricate and machine.
UHMW plastic sheets, or PE1000 range of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylenes have a very high imact strength and wear resistance given it’s extremely long molecular chains and molecular mass of between 4. 5 to 7. 5 million amu. Service temperature range from -260 degrees C to +80 degrees C. The UHMWPE range is available in Natural (White), Green & Black Anti Static(AS), Black Fender (Regen), Superlining Blue with longer wear life and orange glass-filled. All UHMW plastic sheets are pressed and planed and have very good machining properties which make this an ideal material for food production, port construction and mining applications.
