What is the Molecular Weight of UHMW?
UHMW is an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene with a molecular weight between 3.1 and 11 million, making it one of polymer materials with the highest molecular weight. The high molecular weight contributes to its exceptional properties, such as high strength, impact resistance, and low friction.
UHMW-PE Advantages
UHMW is Impact Resistant
UHMW-PE is incredibly impact resistant. Professional sno-cross racers have been pounding moguls on UHMW C&A Pro snowmobile skis for nearly 30 years.
UHMW Abrasion Resistance
UHMW poly is extremely resistant to abrasion, and holds up better than steel, hardwoods and other polymers in abrasive applications. It’s been used in gritty bulk material handling and agricultural applications for decades. Virgin UHMW has a Relative Abrasion Index of 10 vs 100 for carbon steel and 800 for hard neoprene rubber in Sand Slurry Test Results (Source: Roechling)
UHMW is a Self-Lubricating Low Friction Polymer
UHMW poly is a very slick, self-lubricating non-stick material with a coefficient of friction (dynamic) of 0.12. This allows materials to slide right over it without building up, making UHMW-PE an excellent choice for any application that requires a slippery surface to prevent caking. Oil and grease can be eliminated from bearing applications, making UHMW components a popular choice for commercial food handling and bottling applications.
Non-Porous - Absorbs Virtually No Water/Withstands Many Chemicals
UHMW-PE absorbs virtually no water and withstands many corrosive chemicals – These characteristics make UHMW poly an excellent choice for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as for water treatment applications.
Non-Toxic - Natural Virgin UHMW is Food Safe
Natural virgin UHMW-PE is USDA and FDA approved for direct food contact.
UHMW Poly Withstands Extreme Cold
UHMW-PE is an excellent choice for cold-weather applications. Snowmobilers prefer UHMW snowmobile skis for their durability and slick surface, and cities and contractors often install a UHMW poly cutting edge to snowplows and skid steer buckets to protect paved surfaces from plow damage. UHMW can withstand sub-zero temperatures to -450° (Roechling Polystone® M UHMWPE):
UHMW Withstands High Temperatures
UHMW-PE has a melting point of 320°F (160°C).
UHMW is 8 Times Lighter Than Steel
UHMW-PE is eight times lighter than steel but outwears carbon steel for abrasion resistance by 10 to 1.
UHMW Reduces Maintenance Costs & Downtime
UHMW will save you time and money on maintenance. UHMW-PE reduces corrosion and wear so parts last longer. It also is self-lubricating, eliminating time-consuming lubrication requirements. Slick UHMW-lined chutes are far easier to keep clean than metal.
UHMW Reduces Energy Consumption
UHMW’s slick property helps reduce energy costs by reducing friction and thermal loss. Conveyor belts operate more efficiently because product moves more freely, and farm equipment outfitted with poly passes through fields with less resistance, reducing fuel costs.
UHMW Prolongs Equipment Life & Reduces Maintenance Costs
UHMW poly can be used to protect expensive equipment from wear and tear, and to replace worn metal parts for a fraction of the cost.
