Features of UHMWPE rods:
Mechanical properties are better than normal HDPE. It has outstanding impact resistance, stress crack resistance, high temperature creep resistance, low coefficient of friction, self-lubrication, excellent chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, noise resistance, and nuclear radiation resistance.
The temperature used is between 100 and 110 °C. Good cold resistance, can be used at -269 °C. The product with a density of 0.935 g/cm3 and a molecular weight of 2 million has a tensile strength at break of 40 MPa, an elongation at break of 350%, a flexural modulus of elasticity of 600 MPa, and a cantilever beam impact impulse. Wear amount (MPC method) 20mm.
