PE500 sheets are high-performance engineering plastic sheets made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as the base material. The molecular weight typically exceeds 3 million, and it possesses the following core characteristics and application value:

Core Characteristics:
Abrasion and Impact Resistance: Abrasion resistance far exceeds that of carbon steel, stainless steel, and other metals. Impact strength remains excellent from -40°F to room temperature, and it is not prone to brittleness at low temperatures, making it suitable for high-wear and high-impact environments.

Chemical Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and most organic solvents (except for strong oxidants such as concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid). It exhibits strong chemical stability and is suitable for chemical and food processing environments.

Low Friction and Self-Lubrication: Low coefficient of friction and excellent self-lubricating properties reduce equipment wear and extend service life.

Low Temperature and Weather Resistance: Operates in a wide temperature range of -269°C to 80°C, maintaining toughness at low temperatures. Water absorption is <0.01%, and dimensional stability is high.

Environmentally Friendly and Safe: Non-toxic and odorless, meeting food-grade standards, and safe for food contact. Excellent electrical insulation properties, suitable for the electronics and power industries.

Application Areas

Industrial Wear-Resistant Applications: Widely used in chutes, silo linings, and mine car cargo box linings in industries such as coal, metallurgy, cement, and steel, as well as wear-resistant components such as bearings, bushings, sliders, and guide rails.

Food and Medical Applications: Used in fish and meat processing, food packaging, and conveying equipment, meeting food-grade safety standards; in the medical field, used for implants and surgical instrument components.

Construction and Agriculture Applications: Architectural decorative panels, agricultural greenhouses, water pipelines, radiation shielding materials, etc., combining thermal insulation, heat insulation, and aesthetic functions.

Special Environments: High-requirement applications such as radiation shielding in nuclear power plants, military protective components, and port and dock fender linings.

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.
