Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE-UHMW)

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE-UHMW)

Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE-UHMW) is a thermoplastic polymer characterized by its extremely long chains of polyethylene molecules, resulting in a high molecular weight. This structure gives PE-UHMW exceptional properties, including outstanding abrasion resistance, high impact strength, low coefficient of friction, and excellent chemical resistance. It is often used in durable applications, such as conveyor belts, protective armor, medical implants, and high-performance sports equipment.
