UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
NouRix UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a high-performance thermoplastic engineering material with a molecular weight of 4.5 to 9 million. It combines the best properties of multiple plastics, delivering outstanding wear resistance, high impact strength, excellent chemical stability, low temperature toughness, and self-lubrication. With its ability to absorb impact energy and resist abrasion, UHMWPE is widely used in agriculture machinery, conveying systems, chemical plants, food processing, mining, and wear-resistant liners.
