UHMWPEUHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polythene)

Fabricast Industrial Plastics is an independent supplier of UHMWPE. UHMWPE (Ultra high molecular weight Polythene) possesses properties that make it particularly suitable for use in very low temperature and dry sliding applications.

  • Continuous service temperature range, under moderate loading, of -269˚C to 80˚C
  • Exceptional impact strength maintained at relatively high values even at very low temperatures
  • Very good fatigue strength under alternating stress
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • A “non stick” surface resistant to abrasion, to which very few substances can adhere, self lubricating especially in dry movements against metal surfaces
  • Good electrical properties, especially at high frequencies, maintained over a wide temperature range
  • Resistant to attack by a wide range of chemicals
  • Almost no moisture absorption
  • Virtually odourless and tasteless, virgin compression moulded material is approved for contact with food (extruded material an grades intended for industrial applications are not, because of additives, approved for contact with food)
  • Density of only 0.94 g/cm3
  • Easily machined
