Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is often referred to as the world’s toughest polymer. UHMWPE is a linear high density polyethylene which has high abrasion resistance, as well as high impact strength. UHMWPE is also chemical resistant and has a low coefficient of friction which makes it highly effective in a variety of applications.

HMWPE
High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) is a high density polyethylene with a molecular weight of 500,000g/mol. This gives it better wear, impact and abrasion resistance than HDPE but it does not achieve the superior performance of UHWMPE.

HDPE
High Density Polyethylene High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is more rigid and harder than lower density PE’s. Its tensile strength is four times that of LDPE and its compressive strength is three times better. Compared to UHMWPE it has approximately 1/3 the wear resistance and 1/2 the impact resistance.

Nylons were the first of the thermoplastic engineering resins. TECAST nylon is widely known for its abrasion and impact resistance. Absorption of moisture further enhances its shock resistant properties. TECAST nylons cost effectiveness sees its variants utilised in many industries. Addition of oil to the polymer gives improved performance in sliding applications with high pressure-velocity factors. An MoS2 filler increases dimensional stability and improves resistance to abrasion. |

ACETAL-PE BLEND
Blend Of POM & PE By blending Acetal with UHMWPE a unique product is produced, giving TECAFORM AH-LA Blue acetal enhanced dry running properties. It is particularly effective running against stainless steel when a closely machined, self lubricating part is required for use in a caustic environment. Usually used as substitute to PTFE lubricated PETP, which has limited resistance to caustic cleaning solutions and hot water. |

POLYPROPYLENE (PP) Polypropylene offers a good balance of thermal, chemical, and electrical strength. The durability to impacts, primarily at low temperatures is not as good as that of polyethylene. Yet the high resistance to chemicals, even solvents, combined with its affordability is often decisive for the use of polypropylene over other materials.
