What is UHMWP?
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is a part of thermoplastic polyethylene. It has a long chain bonding of about millions of atomic mass unit. Which results as very tough material with its best characteristics of high impact strength, low coefficient of friction, high abrasion resistance and high chemical resistance, one of the best characteristics is that it remains tough even in low temperatures. It is odorless, tasteless and non-toxic type of materials.
What are the applications of UHMWP?
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene are used in many sectors and industries like, Machined parts, Pulp and paper industry, Food and beverage industry, Porous parts and filters, Waste water treatment, Chemical industry, Sport and Leisure, Textile industry, Automotive industry, Coal and mining industry, Medical devices, Conveyor systems, Marines.
