Ultra High Molecular-Weight Polyethylene

Anulon-94 ultra high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has polymer chains 10 to 20 times longer than high density polyethylene. The longer chains (higher molecular weight) give major advantages in toughness, abrasion resistance and freedom from stress cracking. Anulon-94 shares the lubricity, chemical resistance and excellent electrical properties of conventional HDPE. It has several extra-ordinary properties, particularly abrasion resistance (ten times better than carbon steel) and suitable for extremely low temperature applications (-250°C to 90°C); even colder than liquid nitrogen. In the food processing industry, its self lubricating properties and resistance to boiling water are exploited. It complies with FDA requirements for handling food, water and pharmaceuticals. Many uses are based on its noise and shock absorbing properties. In mining industry, Anulon-94 is used as liners in chutes and hoppers due to its excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Availability: rounds, rectangulars, square bars, blocks, sheets, trolley wheels, machined, moulded and fabricated components. Applications: hopper and chute liners, wear plates, strips, centricleaner nozzles, suction box covers, rollers, impellers, guides, screens, etc.
