Summary
pro-5

Polyethylene PE 1000 sheet commonly referred to as ultra-high-molecular-weight, UHMW, or UHMWPE, is one of the most popular engineering plastics. It provides excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, impact and wear, and offers a very low coefficient of friction. UHMW is also non-toxic, odourless, and is highly resistant to moisture.

UHMW plastic sheet is commonly machined into wear strips, chain guides and change parts and is a popular engineering plastic in food processing and bottling operations. Specific grades of PE1000 are also used in bulk material handling applications to line chutes, hoppers and dump trucks, helping to improve product flow and prevent against ratholing and arching.

Features
1. Improve Wear Resistance

Extremely high abrasion resistance, which is invaluable in many engineering applications. Among all plastics, its wear resistance is the best, even outperforming many metal materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and bronze.

2. Extremely High Impact Resistance

The impact strength is related to molecular weight, reaching a peak at about 2 million. This is due to molecular chain structure that absorbs high impact energy effectively.

3. Low Friction Coefficient

Excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficient, and self-lubrication. Ideal for bearing bushings, sliders, and linings to improve wear life and save energy.

4. Good Chemical Resistance

Highly resistant to chemical corrosion. Stable in most alkaline and acidic solutions, including concentrated hydrochloric acid, <20% nitric acid, <75% sulfuric acid, water, and liquid washing.

5. Very Low Water Absorption

Almost completely non-absorbent. Does not swell in water, presenting significantly lower water absorption properties compared to nylon.

6. Thermal Properties

Heat distortion temperature is 85℃ under 4.6kg/cm2 load. Service temperature can reach 90℃ under small load. Retains excellent ductility down to -269°C with no sign of embrittlement.

7. Electrical Properties

Superb electrical properties over a wide temperature range. Volume resistance is 10-18CM, breakdown voltage is 50KV/mm, and dielectric constant is 2.3.

8. Non-toxic Safety

Tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive, offering physiological compatibility. Complies with FDA and USDA standards for contact with food and medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is UHMWPE (PE 1000) sheet?

UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) is a highly durable engineering plastic known for its exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, impact, and wear. It features a very low coefficient of friction and is highly moisture-resistant, non-toxic, and odorless.

How does the wear resistance of UHMWPE compare to metals?

UHMWPE provides the best wear resistance among all plastics. Its regular wear resistance is superior to many common metal materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and bronze.

Is UHMWPE safe for food contact?

Yes, UHMWPE is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, and non-corrosive. It is officially permitted for use in direct contact with food and medicines under the regulations of the US FDA and USDA.

What are the temperature limits for UHMWPE sheets?

UHMWPE has a heat distortion temperature of 85℃ under load, and can reach a service temperature of 90℃ under smaller loads. It exhibits exceptional low-temperature resistance, maintaining ductility without embrittlement down to -269°C.

How does UHMWPE perform in chemical environments?

It has outstanding chemical stability and is resistant to most alkaline and acid solutions, except for highly concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. However, caution should be exercised in aromatic or halogenated compounds, especially at elevated temperatures, as it can swell.

What colors and customization options are available?

Standard colors include white, black, blue, and green. Custom formulations can be produced to add anti-static, flame retardant, anti-radiation, anti-UV, or impact-resistant properties.
