UHMWPE - Rod, Sheet and Fabric Forms
Let's take a detailed look at their different forms and the areas of use of each in industrial applications.
What is GUR® UHMW-PE?
GUR® UHMW-PE is a series of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylenes with a much higher molecular weight than standard polyethylene. It stands out in industrial applications with its high wear resistance, superior impact toughness, low friction and self-lubricating properties. It also exhibits excellent mechanical properties even under cryogenic conditions.
GUR 1020
GUR 1020 is a material with high wear and impact resistance and low coefficient of friction. It is preferred especially in conveying systems and industrial machines with its self-lubricating feature. It maintains its performance up to -200°C and provides long-lasting use.
GUR 1050
GUR 1050 has similar properties to 1020, but offers higher mechanical strength thanks to its denser molecular structure. This makes it ideal for heavy-load applications. Its low friction and non-stick properties reduce maintenance requirements in industrial processes and provide a longer service life.
