PE 1000 bars

Excellent performance and Moderately priced

uhmwpe rod has almost all the advantages of various plastics. It has unmatched features to ordinary polyethylene and other engineering plastics in wear resistance, impact resistant, self-lubricating, anti-corrosion, absorption of impact energy, low temperature resistance, hygienic non-toxic, not easy to adhere, not easy to absorb water, low density and other comprehensive properties. In fact, Currently there is no single polymer material with so many excellent properties.

Wear Resistant

The wear resistance of UHMWPE rod  is the crown of plastic and exceeds some metals. the wear index of UHMWPE is 1/5 of PA66, and PVC compared with other engineering plastics; it is 1/7 of carbon steel compared with metal, brass 1/27. Such a high wear resistance makes it difficult to test the degree of wear resistance by the general plastic abrasion test method, and thus a mortar abrasion test device is specifically designed. UHMWPE wear resistance is proportional to molecular weight, the higher the molecular weight, the better the wear resistance

Self-lubricationg or small friction coefficient

UHMWPE rod has an extremely low friction factor (0.05 to 0.11), so it is excellent in self-lubricating properties. The UHMWPE's dynamic rubbing factor is 1/2 of PA66 and POM under water lubrication conditions, and it is the second most self-lubricating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in plastic under non-lubricated conditions. When it is operated in a sliding or rotating form, it is more lubricious than steel and brass after lubricating. Therefore, UHMWPE is known as a friction material with very good cost/performance in the field of tribology.
