METALENE®
UHMWPE– Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is a high-performance thermoplastic with ultra-low friction, exceptional impact strength, and abrasion resistance often outperforming steel. Its self-lubricating nature ensures quiet, low-maintenance operation and long service life. With molecular weights of 3.1–10 million g/mol, its ultra-long, crystalline chains provide superior toughness, durability, and wear resistance in demanding applications.
PROPERTIES & BENEFITS
• Friction: Ultra-low, self-lubricating, reduces wear and energy use.
• Impact Strength: Highest among thermoplastics; absorbs heavy shocks.
• Abrasion Resistance: Exceptional; outperforms metals in sliding wear.
• Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, alkalis, and solvents.
• Moisture Absorption: Negligible; maintains dimensional stability.
• Lightweight: Strong yet light; lowers system weight and costs.
• Noise Reduction: Dampens vibrations for quieter operation.
