UHMW MOLDED PARTS
B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply distributor of UHMW molded parts.
UHMW-PE molding is a proven solutions to the most difficult manufacturing engineering
problems. Using a proprietary molding process for Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), UHMW Molded components create the highest-quality,
complex parts with characteristics that are superior to any other plastic material.
UHMW CHARACTERISTICS
UHMW-PE has a low coefficient of friction, decreasing the energy needed to operate
machinery. The agriculture industry has found that using UHMW-PE as opposed to steel
in scraper applications increased fuel economy, reduced noise levels and increased wear
resistance. In material handling, the use of UHMW-PE sprockets and bearing surfaces
have not only improved overall performance but have extended the life of conveying
systems. In food handling systems UHMW-PE has eliminated the need for unwanted
grease or oil lubricating methods, in fact, UHMW-PE is FDA and USDA approved for
direct food contact.
UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
-
7 times lighter than steel
-
3 times lighter than aluminum
-
Unmatched impact strength
-
Outwears abrasion resistance steel by 10 to 1
-
Thermal resistance -460 to + 200F
-
Non-staining
-
Chemical resistance
UHMW-PE is a unique plastic with an extremely high modecular weight - 4.5 million to 6
million. It is this high molecular weight that gives UHMW-PE its unsurpassed combination
of slickness, toughness and chemical resistance. Molded UHMW components use 100%
virgin UHMW-PE in every product.
UHMW-PE molded components can be used in all types of industres including:
recreational, agricultural, medical, transportation, industrial, food and drug.
