What is UHMW-PE 7 times lighter than steel 3 times lighter than aluminum Best resistance to wear and abrasion Unmatched impact strength Non-stick surfaces Low coefficient of friction Excellent temperature range -460 to + 200F. Resists most chemicals FDA and USDA approved UHMW-PE defined is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. UHMW-PE is a polyethylene with a molecular weight of 4.5 – 6 million. It is this high molecular weight that gives UHMW-PE its unsurpassed combination of slickness, toughness and chemical resistance. Global Polymer uses 100 % virgin UHMW-PE in every product manufactured. Products you are familiar with such as plastic food containers, plastic milk containers, many home appliances etc., are made from low to high density polyethylene. These products usually carry a molecular weight of 50K to 500K. Imagine using these products as one of only two bearing surfaces for an entire 100,000 lb. railroad box car. Obviously it will not work. 4.5 to 6 million molecular weight polyethylene or UHMW-PE does work. In fact UHMW-PE is 10 times more abrasion resistant than carbon steel. Because of its low coefficient of friction UHMW-PE is self-lubricating, it replaces unwanted grease and oil in many applications. Here are some products you may be familiar with that are made of UHMW-PE; combine skid plates, snowmobile skis, bogey wheels, conveyor flights, fifth wheel plates, and a number of bearings and wear plates, just to name a few. UHMW-PE advantages: Because of UHMW-PE's low coefficient of friction for example, UHMW-PE will decrease the energy needed to operate machinery. The agriculture industry has found that using UHMW-PE as opposed to steel in scraper applications realized increased fuel economy, reduced noise levels and increased wear resistance. In material handling, the use of UHMW-PE sprockets and bearing surfaces have not only improved overall performance but have extended the life of conveying systems. In food handling systems UHMW-PE has eliminated the need for unwanted grease or oil lubricating methods, in fact, UHMW-PE is FDA and USDA approved for direct food contact. UHMW characteristics Highest abrasion resistance of any polymer Outstanding impact strength Intricate parts Cost efficient Improved performance Self lubricating material Light weight Low Tooling costs Non-Toxic Sound dampening properties Good chemical resistance Processing and Application UHMW-PE dose not melt. That's right, almost every type of plastic that you are familiar with melts, but UHMW-PE dose not. Here in lies the reason for its late introduction into the manufacturing world. So how do you force a resin that dose not melt into a molding tool and eventually into a finished product? The answer to this question is what has placed Global Polymer Industries among the fastest growing companies in the polyethylene industry today. IndustrialUHMW-PE is being used for hundreds of applications in mining, construction, chemical plants, waste water treatment plants, just to name a few. These industrial plants have the need for impact toughness, corrosion resistance, and biological inertness. UHMW-PE is used as scrapers, bushings, gears, conveyor rollers and more. AgriculturalUHMW-PE will make your agriculture machinery last longer, run more efficiently, and will reduce operating and maintenance costs. RecreationalUHMW-PE is used for a variety of parts for recreation vehicles such as snowmobile skis, bogey wheels, drive sprockets, idler arms and rollers. Food and DrugTobacco, cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging machines use UHMW-PE parts operate clean without contamination, lubricants, rust or corrosion. UHMW-PE parts slide easily without staining or sticking. Drive parts outwear those made of stainless steel and cost less. Cleaning with steam or strong detergents cause no harm to UHMW-PE parts. With FDA clearance and USDA acceptance for food contact, UHMW-PE parts are safe and sanitary. MarineBecause UHMW-PE is non-marking, non-abrasive and virtually an unbreakable material, dock and boatlift manufactures use UHMW-PE for bumpers, fenders, rub rails, etc. TransportationTruck suspension manufacturers use UHMW-PE parts for wear plates, shims, bearings, etc. Railroad cars use UHMW-PE for wear plates, shims and coupler carriers. MedicalUHMW-PE is the only plastic approved for medical implants. Global Polymer Industries has medical grade UHMW-PE available for molding various orthopedic joints such as hips, knees, and shoulders. UHMW-PE’s unique self-lubricating properties make it ideal for many medical applications.
