1.Product Overview

PE1000 sheets are high-performance engineering plastic sheets made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as the base material. The molecular weight typically exceeds 10 million, and it possesses the following core characteristics and application value:

2.Core Characteristics:

Superior Abrasion Resistance: Abrasion resistance is among the highest of plastics, far exceeding that of metals such as carbon steel and stainless steel, making it suitable for high-wear applications (e.g., mining machinery, logistics transportation).

Impact Resistance and Low-Temperature Resistance: Impact strength remains excellent from -40°F to room temperature, with a low low-temperature embrittlement temperature as low as -269°C, and its toughness is not diminished at low temperatures.

Chemical Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and most organic solvents (except strong oxidants), exhibiting strong chemical stability, suitable for chemical and food processing environments.

Self-Lubricating and Low-Friction: With a coefficient of friction as low as 0.05, it has excellent self-lubricating properties, reducing equipment wear and energy consumption.

Environmentally Friendly and Safe: Non-toxic, odorless, meets food-grade standards (e.g., FDA certification), recyclable, and has excellent electrical insulation properties.

3.Application Areas

Industrial Wear-Resistant Applications: Widely used in mining machinery (conveyor belts, liners, chutes), chemical equipment (storage tanks, pipelines, valves), logistics and transportation (slides, dump truck liners), and machinery manufacturing (sleeves, gears, sliders).

Construction and Engineering: Bridges, tunnels, water conservancy projects, building decorative panels, radiation shielding materials, etc., combining lightweight, high strength, and weather resistance.

Food and Medical: Food processing equipment (such as fish and meat processing lines), medical implants, surgical instrument components, meeting non-toxic and safety standards.

Special Environments: High-requirement applications such as nuclear power plant radiation protection, military protective components, port and dock fender lining panels, and deep-sea aquaculture equipment.

UHMWPE sheet is also FDA approved for use in food contact applications, making it a popular choice for manufacturers in the food and beverage industry. It has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it an excellent material for bearings, gears, and other components that require smooth operation.
