Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, PE1000) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. UHMWPE sheet has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3 and 9 million amu. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.

We can provide various UHMWPE sheet according to different requirements in different applications.
We are looking forward to your visit.
UHMWPE has extremely long molecular chains with a molecular mass between 3 to 9 million amu. This high molecular weight transfers loads more effectively to the polymer backbone, giving it the highest impact strength and toughness of any thermoplastic material.
UHMWPE sheets feature exceptionally high abrasion and wear resistance along with a very low coefficient of friction. This makes them ideal for demanding sliding, lining, and conveying applications where friction reduction is critical.
Yes, UHMWPE retains excellent impact resistance even at extremely low temperatures, preventing fracturing and maintaining mechanical properties where other plastics fail.
UHMWPE has near-zero moisture absorption (≤0.01% via ASTM D-570 testing) and is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, with the exception of strong oxidizing acids.
We offer standard sizes ranging from 1200x3000mm up to 2100x6100mm, with thicknesses from 10mm to 200mm. Regular colors include white, black, blue, and green, and we can accommodate specific custom requirements.
Absolutely. UHMWPE is completely odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It is widely used in food processing machinery (such as guides, bearings, and rollers) and medical equipment (like prostheses and artificial joints).
