High molecular weights have not only unique properties, but very useful properties. The high density of molecules imparts hardness and, in addition, good resistance to physical influences.
Chemists have managed to create polymer sheets with exceptional properties. Thus, polymers HMWPE and UHMWPE are produced. Under these abbreviations are ultra-high molecular weight and high molecular weight polyethylene. High molecular weights have not only unique properties, but very useful properties. The high density of the particles imparts hardness and, in addition, good resistance to physical influences. At the same time, this material is easy to machine with simple tools, which greatly simplifies the work possibilities.
Advantages of UHMWPE:
impact resistance;
High pressure capability;
not afraid of moisture;
chemical resistance;
High abrasion resistance and extreme temperatures.
Application of UHMWPE:
Chemical engineering
Food industry packaging industry
General engineering
Mechanical
project
Electrical engineering and lining of shipbuilding and transport components
