Overview


Engineered for extreme chemical environments, our Chemical Resistance UHMEPE Engineering Plastic (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Ethylene Propylene Engineering Plastic) combines exceptional chemical inertness with superior wear resistance, setting a new standard for harsh industrial applications. With a molecular weight exceeding 3.5 million g/mol, this thermoplastic offers unmatched resistance to corrosive media, abrasion, and low-temperature brittleness, making it ideal for components in chemical processing, marine engineering, and food/pharmaceutical industries. Its non-absorptive surface and low friction coefficient redefine performance in environments where traditional plastics fail.


Features


Exceptional Chemical Inertness

Broad Chemical Resistance: Unaffected by acids (HCl, H2SO4 up to 98%), alkalis (NaOH up to 50%), and organic solvents (toluene, acetone), with weight loss ≤0.1% after 1000h immersion (ASTM D543).

Non-Polar Structure: Linear molecular chain structure resists hydrogen bonding with polar/non-polar chemicals, outperforming PTFE in low-temperature chemical resistance (-196°C to 80°C operational range).


Superior Mechanical Performance

High Wear Resistance: Abrasion loss ≤5 mm³/1000 cycles (ASTM D4060), 15x better than HDPE and 3x better than PTFE, ideal for slurry transport and abrasive environments.

Impact Resistance: Unnotched impact strength ≥400 J/m (ASTM D256) at -40°C, maintaining ductility in cryogenic applications (e.g., liquefied gas processing).


Low Friction & Self-Lubricating

Coefficient of Friction: 0.1-0.3 (ASTM D1894), reducing energy consumption in conveyor systems and pump components without additional lubrication.

Non-Stick Surface: Surface energy ≤30 mN/m prevents material adhesion (e.g., sticky slurries, food particles), minimizing downtime for cleaning (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 compliant for food contact).


Processability & Design Flexibility

Custom Molding Options: Available in rods, sheets, and custom-molded parts via compression/ram extrusion, with dimensional stability (linear expansion coefficient 11x10⁻⁵/°C) for precision components.

Lightweight: Density 0.93-0.95 g/cm³, 50% lighter than steel and 20% lighter than PEEK, reducing structural load in marine and aerospace applications.


Application


Chemical Processing

Pump Components: Impellers, seals, and valve seats resistant to aggressive chemicals in petrochemical refineries (NACE MR0175 compliant for sour gas environments).

Pipe Linings: Non-corrosive liners for transporting hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and organic solvents, extending service life by 3x compared to rubber-lined pipes.


Marine Engineering

Rudder Bearings & Propeller Bushings: Withstands saltwater corrosion (ASTM B117, 5000h salt spray) and low-friction operation in ship propulsion systems.

Offshore Platforms: Wear-resistant guides for mooring systems, resisting abrasion from sand-laden seawater (ISO 12944 C5-M corrosion category).


Food & Pharmaceutical

Conveyor Belts & Chute Liners: FDA-compliant surface prevents product contamination, ideal for processing sticky foods (e.g., confectionery, meat) and pharmaceutical powders.

Medical Components: Non-toxic, non-absorptive material for drug manufacturing equipment (USP Class VI biocompatibility certified).
