UHMW Film
UHMW Film (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is designed for general applications requiring release, non-stick properties, or enhanced robustness. These films offer superior abrasion resistance and durability under mechanical stress, along with self-lubricating characteristics similar to Skived PTFE Films. Their anti-stick surface and sound-deadening properties make them ideal for demanding applications.
Additionally, Skived UHMW-PE Films can be bonded without etching, using methods such as thermal activation or bonding agents. UHMW exhibits exceptional abrasion resistance, often surpassing that of steel. With broad chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction, UHMW serves as a versatile engineering material suitable for severe duty applications.
Characterized by its slipperiness akin to PTFE, UHMW polymers possess a molecular weight average ten times greater than that of conventional high-density polyethylene resins, enhancing their performance in various applications.
Advantages of UHMW-PE Film
- High Abrasion Resistance and Durability
Exceptional resistance to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Continuous Service Temperature
Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 90°C.
- Self-Lubricating Properties
Similar to PTFE, providing reduced friction in applications.
- Anti-Stick Surface:
Designed to minimize adhesion, making it ideal for release applications.
