Q&A

Q

What is UHMWPE (UPE) and what makes it different from other plastics?

UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, UPE) is a high-performance engineering plastic with exceptional wear resistance, low friction, and high impact strength. Compared to standard polyethylene or polypropylene, UPE has a much higher molecular weight, which gives it superior abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, and long service life. It is widely used as a replacement for metal in industrial and mechanical applications.

Q

What are the standard sizes, thicknesses, and colors available for UPE sheets?

Standard UPE sheets are available in thicknesses from 5 mm up to 200 mm, and can be cut to custom sizes according to project requirements. Typical sheet dimensions are 1000×2000 mm or 2000×3000 mm, but OEM customization is available. Colors include black and white by default, with other colors available on request.

Q

What is the operating temperature range for UPE sheets?

UPE sheets can typically withstand continuous operating temperatures from –200 °C to +80 °C, and short-term exposure up to +90 °C. UPE retains its mechanical strength and wear resistance over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, and food-processing environments.

Q

Can UPE sheets be machined or fabricated?

Yes, UPE sheets are easy to machine, cut, drill, mill, and weld. They can be fabricated into custom components such as gears, rollers, bushings, conveyor guides, cutting boards, and insulating parts. However, due to their toughness, specialized cutting tools and slower feed rates are recommended to achieve a clean finish.

Q

Is UPE safe for food contact?

FDA-compliant grades of UPE are available, making it safe for direct contact with food. Common food-industry applications include cutting boards, guides, rollers, and conveyor components. UPE is non-toxic, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Q

What are the main advantages of using UPE sheets?

1.Extremely low friction and self-lubricating – reduces wear in sliding applications

2.Outstanding abrasion and impact resistance – lasts much longer than conventional plastics

3.Chemical and corrosion resistant – suitable for harsh industrial environments

4.Lightweight yet strong – reduces overall system weight while maintaining strength

5.Customizable – can be cut, machined, and fabricated to project requirements

Q

What industries commonly use UPE sheets?

1.Industrial: gears, bearings, rollers, conveyor components

2.Automotive: bushings, clips, brackets, under-hood parts

3.Electrical: insulating components, housings, connectors

4.Food & Packaging: cutting boards, conveyor guides, rollers
