UTEC®
UTEC3040
UTEC3040 is an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene with a molecular weight
greater than
10 times higher than High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resins. This extremely high mo
lecular
weight yields several unique properties to this polymer such as high abrasion resistance
,
impact
strength and
because it
is
a self
-
lubricating material, a
low coefficient of friction
.
Application: Applications which require highest wear resistance;Technical and porous parts, filters, compression molded sheets;
