| General properties: |
• Excellent abrasion resistance - better than carbon steel
• Very low co-efficient of friction; no lubrication required
• Very high surface release properties
• Operating temperature ranges of -260°C to 90°C for UHMWPE, -100°C to 80°C for HMWPE and -50°C to 80°C for HDPE
• High chemical resistance, resists corrosion
• Very good damping properties
• Weatherproof - suitable for outdoor applications
• Good electrical & dielectric properties
• Suitable for food contact |
| Applications: |
Liners which promote flow & resist abrasion
Conveyor components subject to high wear & requiring low friction or self-lubrication
Parts subject to high impact stress
Food processing components
Chopping boards
Freezer components
Medical & pharmaceutical components
Pumps & filter components |
