Thermoplastic Material

Our offerings UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) are both types of thermoplastic polymers made from the polymerization of ethylene monomers. While they share some similarities, they have distinct properties that make them suitable for different applications. Here's a breakdown of each material:

1. UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene):

UHMW polyethylene has an extremely high molecular weight, typically greater than 3 million g/mol, which gives it superior strength and durability.

UHMW is know for its key properties such as high Strength, low friction, chemical resistance, Impact Resistance, Noise Reduction, Self-Lubricating, and Non-toxicity.

Common Applications:

- Wear Plates: Used in industries where machinery undergoes heavy wear, such as mining, material handling, and agricultural equipment.
- Conveyor Components: Its low friction and wear resistance make it a popular choice for rollers, guides, and tracks.
- Medical Devices: In joint replacements and medical prosthetics.
- Marine: Used for boat hulls and docking systems due to its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh marine environments.
- Food Processing: It is used for wear-resistant components and in the food industry where hygiene and safety are critical.

2. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene):

HDPE has a lower molecular weight than UHMW, usually ranging from 200,000 to 500,000 g/mol, which makes it more rigid but slightly less durable under extreme conditions compared to UHMW.

HDPE is know for its key properties such as density, Strength and Durability, Chemical resistance, UV resistance, Water resistance and Recyclability.

Common Applications:
- Pipes and Fittings: Used for water and gas pipelines due to its chemical resistance and strength.
- Plastic Bottles and Containers: Common in the production of rigid containers, bottles, and packaging.
- Geomembranes: Used in lining landfills, ponds, and reservoirs because of its low permeability to water and chemicals.
- Consumer Goods: Found in products such as toys, housewares, and outdoor furniture.
- Agricultural: Used in irrigation systems and as part of the protective lining in agricultural applications.
