We specialize in importing and supplying one of the world’s finest engineering plastics—UHMW-PE.
1. What is UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)?
UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with an extremely high molecular weight. Its molecular weight typically exceeds 5 million, endowing it with extraordinary properties that distinguish it from ordinary PE (polyethylene) or HDPE (high-density polyethylene).
2. Key Characteristics:
• Exceptional Wear Resistance: It boasts the highest wear resistance among all plastics, surpassing even carbon steel. This ensures exceptionally long service life in applications involving frequent friction.
• Extremely low friction coefficient: Its smooth surface and self-lubricating properties prevent adhesion to other materials. This makes it ideal for components requiring reduced friction, such as guide rails, bearings, and chain guides.
• Outstanding impact resistance: It maintains exceptional toughness even at extremely low temperatures (down to -200°C), ranking among the highest impact-resistant plastics.
• Chemical resistance: Exhibits outstanding resistance to most acids, alkalis, salt solutions, and organic solvents.
• Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and odorless, compliant with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) standards, suitable for food processing and medical applications.
• Minimal water absorption: Virtually non-absorbent, ensuring excellent dimensional stability.
3. Our Primary Imported Products (Brands/Series):
We specialize in importing and supplying the AYCG® series of UHMW-PE products manufactured by Germany’s Celanese Corporation (formerly Ticona). This is the globally recognized leading brand in this field.
• AYCG Series: Examples include AYCG 100-10000. Different grades vary slightly in molecular weight, particle morphology, and certain properties to meet diverse application requirements.
4. Primary Application Areas:
Thanks to its outstanding comprehensive properties, UHMW-PE (PE GUR) is widely used across various industrial sectors:
• Logistics & Warehousing: Chain guides, shelf corner protectors, conveyor guides, rollers.
• Paper Industry: Dewatering plates, suction box panels, sealing strips.
• Textile Industry: Yarn guides, shuttles, gears.
• Food Machinery: Workbench panels, wear strips, star wheels.
• Sports & Recreation: Ski base plates, ice hockey rink boards.
• Medical Field: Wear-resistant components for artificial joints (e.g., acetabular cups).
• Machinery Equipment: Gears, bearings, bushings, wear plates.
