U.H.M.W.P.E. Sheet & Rod

Trade Names: Polystone

U.H.M.W.P.E. is Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene.

UHMWPE is a very rigid material for use in general plant engineering where the unique properties, excellent impact strength, wear and abrasion resistance are required.

• Excellent impact resistance
• High mechanical strength
• Resistant to many solvents
• Very good electrical insulator
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Very high damping properties
• Continuous use temp. of -269 to 80 Deg. Cent.
• Minimum water absorption (0.01%)
• Extremely low co-efficient of friction
• F.D.A. approved for food and drug industries

• UHMWPE is resistant to Acids, Salts & salt solutions, Alcohols, oils, fats, waxes & many solvents.
• All PE material is affected by strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid, chromic acid or halogens.
• Aromatics and Halogenated hydrocarbons cause swelling.

• Sheet & Rod products of UHMWPE are supplied in two colours.
• White which is non-UV.
• Black which is UV.

• Flow promoting liners to resist sliding abrasion and to assist release, conveyor components subject to high wear and requiring low friction.
• Componentry in direct contact with food stuffs.
• Parts subject to high impact stresses.

• White & Black
