Do you also have doubts about whether to choose HDPE or UHMWPE? What are the differences between the two materials and how to distinguish them?
Both HDPE and UHMW are known for their reliability in various industries and applications. There are many similarities between the two materials, so some people use them interchangeably. However, each material has different qualities that may make one material better than another for a specific use. Choosing the right materials is critical to ensuring the most cost-effective long-term solution.
HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer. Compared with other types of ethylene, it has a high density (0.96g/cm3). It has many functions and has low moisture absorption, making it the first choice for various applications that come into contact with water or chemicals.
Ø Easier processing and molding process
Ø more cost-effective
Ø Strong and unbreakable
Ø High strength to density ratio
Ø Cabinets, cutting boards, counters, tables and other furniture use
Ø Use of outdoor amusement equipment
Ø Use of orthotics and prosthetics
Ø Food and beverage containers for use
Ø Marine grade cabinets, instrument panels, doors and hatch covers
UHMWPE is also a type of thermoplastic polyethylene, often a high-grade alternative to HDPE. It has ultra-high wear and impact resistance, and its low friction and high durability make it a perfect choice for applications in abrasive environments.
Ø Extremely strong, uhmw is one of the strongest plastics on the market and is ideal for high impact and high wear applications
Ø Better chemical resistance
Ø Better temperature resistance than HDPE
Ø Manufacturing facilities, delivery systems, machinery, and even food processing and packaging equipment
Ø Manufacture parts such as wear strips, chain guides, bumpers, bearings and guides
Ø Marine wharf fender, wharf parts
Ø Electrical element
