UHMWPE Polymer

Plastic Shilp Udyog, an ISO 9001: 2008 company, offers a range of Thermoplastics for industrial applications. UHMWPE – Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has polymer chains 10 to 20 times longer than high-density polyethylene. The longer chains (higher molecular weight), gives major advantages in toughness, abrasion resistance, and freedom from stress cracking. Since it is a polyethylene, UHMWPE shares the lubricity, chemical resistance and excellent electrical properties of conventional HDPE. Many of its uses are based on the noise and shock absorbing properties, non-sticky and slippery surface, chemical resistance, light weight, high abrasion resistance and non-corrosive properties, makes it most suitable material for use as liner and impeller in chemical processing pumps and in paper mills where numerous components are being used in UHMWPE like centric cleaner cones and nozzles, suction box cover, hydrofoils, doctor blades, gears, etc. Likewise use of UHMWPE is extensive in food processing and bottling industries where components like guides, strips, bottle feeder, sprockets and many other are being used.

Thermoplastics have revolutionised the usage of polymers in industries. Thanks to its lightweight, self-lubricating, low co-efficient of friction, low abrasion and non-corrosive character, it has replaced conventional metal largely in the industries. Due to the versatility of the thermoplastics, they have even been accepted in defence, heavy engineering, medical science and information technology industries.
