GEHR Plastics PE-UHMW Polyethylene, Ultra High Molecular Weight
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); UHMW PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight PE)
Material Notes:	The ultra high molecular weight Polyethylene has a high abrasion resistance and a high toughness at the same time. The chemical and the crack resistance are optimized in comparison to the standard PE-HD. The operating temperature if PE-UHMW is -150°C to 90°C Properties: low density high toughness high elongation very good electrical and dielectric properties very low water absorption low steam permeability high chemical resistance good protection against stress cracking food safe soft surface HF welding not recommended natural color is not weather resistance Applications pumping and valve parts gaskets glide profiles food industry parts
