Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is abbreviated as UHMWPE. UHMWPE generally refers to polyethylene whose relative molecular weight is above 1.5 million (relative molecular weight of common polyethylene is only 20,000-300,000). Due to ultra-high molecular weight, UHMWPE is a new engineering plastic with very excellent properties which the common polyethylene does not have.
Wear resistance of UHMWPE is the highest among the plastics, which is several times that of the carbon steel, brass.
