Item Description:UHMW Polyethylene Sheet .500"x12"x12" Black Color
UHMW , also known as high molecular weight polyethylene. Ultra High Molecular weight polyethylene is an extremely high abrasion resistant material.
UHMW resist wear . friction and corrosion and thus it cuts maintenance costs , energy consumption and extends equipment life. UHMW molecular weight ranges from 3.1 million to 100 million grams per mole , with an ideal replacement for stainless steel in transporting difficult materials .
UHMW -PE has crystalline melting point of 267F (131C). Recommended maximum service is about 200F (93C)
Very good wear and abrasion resistance
High impact strength, even at low temperatures (particularly PE-UHMW)
Excellent chemical resistance
Low density compared with other thermoplastics
Low coefficient of friction
Excellent release properties
Very low water absorption
Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance
Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except static dissipative grades)
Excellent machinability
Physiologically inert (several grades are suitable for food contact)
Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
Not self-extinguishing
