UHMW-PE Powder

by By Mitsui Chemicals Inc.

UHMW-PE powder. A versatile and highly durable material, ideal for a wide range of industrial and medical applications due to its strength, low friction, and resistance to wear and chemicals. Offering two product ranges, Mipelon™ and Hizex™

Mipelon™

 

Key Features:

  • Ultra-High Molecular Weight: Mipelon™ has a high molecular weight, giving it excellent mechanical strength and durability.
  • Low Friction: The material has a low coefficient of friction, which means it reduces wear and tear in moving parts.
  • High Wear Resistance: Mipelon™ is resistant to abrasion, making it suitable for applications where surfaces experience a lot of friction.
  • Chemical Resistance: It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
  • Low Water Absorption: The material absorbs very little water, which helps maintain its properties even in wet conditions.
  • Biocompatibility: Mipelon™ is biocompatible, which means it can be used in medical applications or medical devices.

Applications:

  • Lubricants and Additives: Used in lubricants to reduce friction in mechanical systems.
  • Coatings and Films: Applied as a coating to reduce wear and tear on various surfaces.
  • Medical Devices: Due to its biocompatibility, it’s used in medical equipment and devices.
  • Industrial Components: Used in parts that require high wear resistance, such as gears and conveyor systems.

Variants:

Mipelon™ comes in various grades and particle sizes, allowing it to be customized for different applications. Depending on the specific needs, different formulations can be chosen to optimize performance.

 

Hizex™

 

Key Features:

  • High Density: Hizex™ is a high-density polyethylene, which gives it superior mechanical strength compared to other types of polyethylene.
  • Excellent Stiffness and Rigidity: The material has a strong, rigid structure, making it suitable for products that require durability and shape retention.
  • Impact Resistance: Hizex™ offers excellent resistance to impact, making it durable under heavy use or in harsh conditions.
  • Chemical Resistance: It is resistant to many chemicals, including acids and bases, which allows it to be used in a variety of industrial applications and compounding.
  • Good Processability: The powder material is easy to process using common manufacturing methods.
  • Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR): Hizex™ has good resistance to stress cracking, which is important for products exposed to long-term environmental stress.

Applications:

  • Pipes and Fittings: Commonly used in the production of pipes and fittings for water supply, gas distribution, and sewage systems due to its strength and durability.
  • Automotive Parts: Hizex™ is used in various automotive components, including fuel tanks, due to its impact resistance and chemical stability.
  • Industrial Products: It is also used in making industrial components that need to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments.

Variants:

Hizex™ comes in different grades tailored to specific applications, offering a range of properties like enhanced stiffness, better processability, or increased resistance to environmental stress cracking.
