Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic polyethylene with a molecular mass in the range of over a million amu. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, UHMW-PE has extremely long, non-branching, linear chains which transfer the load more effectively to the polymer backbone due to strong ...
IPX 2000 Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (IPX 2000, IPX UHMW, IPX UHMW-PE, IPX-UHMW-PE) is an engineered polyethylene compound developed to maintain many traits of UHMW, while increasing abrasion resistance, UV stability and decreasing friction and thermal expansion.
