UPE is the abbreviation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (uhmwpe).


What is ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (upe)?

1. Foreign definition

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene refers to linear structure polyethylene with an average molecular weight greater than 3 million (ISO standard)

2. Domestic definition

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene refers to linear structure polyethylene with an average molecular weight greater than 1.5 million (ASTM standard)


UPE excellent performance:

1. Wear resistance:

Superior to metals and carbon steel, brass, compared to polyethylene, typically have wear resistance tens of thousands of times.

2. Impact resistance-200 or less has excellent impact resistance.

3. Self-lubricating:

The wear coefficient is small, and it can also shake unlubricated metal surfaces.

4. chemical resistance

Excellent chemical resistance, extremely high stability in acids and alkalis.


Applications: Used in gear/railway UML sheets, screws, snowmobiles, slag hopper linings, battery separators, prosthetic materials, high-strength fibers, tapes and other fields.


Kaimeng provides super wear-resistant injection molding grade UPE particles, which are self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, and have excellent low-temperature resistance. They are widely used in transmission and packaging fields.
