UHMWPE sheet has an incredible resistance to abrasion. It will outperform almost any engineering plastic for abrasion resistance and is probably one of the best materials for lining chutes and hoppers for products such as sand, aggregate and concrete or any other highly abrasive moving product.
Another important property is it's incredibly low co-efficient of friction. It is one of the lowest of all engineering plastics and will produce components with a very high life span with very low drag, which means very little will stick to it. Its also resistant to many dilute acids, solvents and cleaning agents.
UHMWPE has a maximum continuous operating temperature of plus 90°C and a short term operating temperature of plus 120°C. Its a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.

Advantages of UHMWPE Sheet
Odourless, tasteless, and nontoxic,
Has extremely low moisture absorption
Very low coefficient of friction
UHMWPE doesn’t become brittle until the temperature gets below −150 °C
Lubricates itself and is highly abrasion resistant.
It’s resistant to water, moisture and most chemicals
It’s resistant to UV radiation, and micro-organisms.
UHMWPE application
Because UHMWPE sheet has excellent abrasion resistance it is often used for lining chutes and hoppers in aggressive and highly abrasive environments, which is why you’ll find it at the quarry. Its also found in food production environments where high volumes of containers like cans or bottles need to be guided along conveyors or production lines.
Because it has very low moisture absorption, it is also found in some high demand areas of marine applications. UHMWPE is also sometimes used in some cryogenic components due to its low operating temperature abilities.
Due to its resistance to wear and impact, UHMWPE continues to find increasing industrial applications, including the automotive, manufacturing and bottling sectors.
