Product Description

"Polyceramoplast-α-M" is a "oil-containing" ceramic reinforced composite materials based on UHMWPE with a molecular weight of approximately 9 million g/mol, specifically developed for conditions of high stickiness and humidity.

The material is used as a lining to prevent the adhesion and freezing of bulk materials while simultaneously protecting metal from abrasion.Typical applications include excavator and loader buckets, receiving hoppers, chutes, and troughs.

The α-M grade is capable of self-polishing by the transported material, which eliminates a typical defect of dry UHMWPE lining materials: within a short time, fuzz forms on the lining surface, reducing anti-adhesive properties to zero.

Product Advantage

✔ Exceptional Anti‑Adhesion & Flow Performance
Thanks to its inherently low friction coefficient and hydrophobic surface, this material significantly reduces sticking and buildup of sticky or wet bulk products, speeding up material flow and cutting cleaning downtime. This is especially valuable in processing environments where adhesion leads to frequent stoppages.

✔ Superior Wear & Abrasion Resistance
Formulated on ultra‑high‑molecular‑weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) enhanced with advanced modifiers, Polyceramoplast™ exhibits high wear resistance that outperforms many traditional plastics and provides long service life in sliding and abrasive applications.

✔ Outstanding Impact Toughness
The material offers high impact resistance and excellent resistance to cracking even under vibration and shock loads. Its toughness—among the highest of engineering thermoplastics—helps protect equipment surfaces and extends maintenance intervals.

✔ Broad Chemical Compatibility
Chemical resistance comparable to fluoropolymers allows this composite to withstand a wide range of environments—from inert to aggressive media—without degradation, making it ideal for diverse industrial uses.

✔ Wide Operating Temperature Range
Engineered to perform from ‑260°C up to +80°C, Polyceramoplast™‑α‑M retains functional properties in both extreme cold and moderately elevated service conditions.

✔ Self‑Polishing Surface
Unique formulation promotes self‑polishing under use, maintaining a smooth, low‑friction surface over time—a key advantage in systems where conventional UHMWPE linings can accumulate fuzz and lose effectiveness.

FAQ

FAQs

Is it possible to calculate the wear-out period to somehow plan the timing for replacing the lining? Alpha 2030×1000×25 is used for lining dispensers and skips.

This can only be determined through practical experience after the first period of operation. It's impossible to replicate similar conditions in a laboratory. Humidity, particle size distribution, and impurities may change, so it's better to have a small stock of plates on hand for replacement in the most heavily loaded areas.
Good afternoon! Could you please advise on how to machine Polykeramoplast Gamma? Should it be milled and drilled with the same tools as steel? Can high-speed steel (R18 or R6M5) or hard alloy (T5K10) be used as cutting tools? Or is it necessary to purchase specialized tools?

For simple drilling or sawing, any carbide tool will work. High-speed steel can also be used, but it will wear out faster due to the ceramic content in Gamma.

If milling on a CNC machine using a program with a side milling pass, it's better to use diamond-tipped milling cutters.
Is it possible to use UHMWPE as protection against abrasive wear (sandblasting)? The task is to protect a metal cement slurry feed nozzle from abrasion. Will an UHMWPE liner help protect the nozzle from wear? Or should we look towards boron carbide?

For the stated purposes, using UHMWPE is not feasible—it will wear out quickly. Few things compare to ceramics in terms of wear resistance.

Polyceramoplast composites work against sticking/freezing and against chemical-abrasive wear in mining equipment, where covering large areas with expensive ceramics is economically impractical and where the service life of ceramics would be excessive.
Above, an answer was given regarding cutting with a milling cutter or waterjet. Would a manual router or an electric planer for wood be suitable for chamfering?

Chamfering with manual tools is possible. In this case, the accuracy of the machining depends on the operator's skill.
How suitable is laser cutting for UHMWPE plates of various thicknesses? What recommendations can you give for laser cutting?

Laser cutting is not used for UHMWPE: the laser melts the edges, the material loses its properties in the cutting zone, and yellowing is observed. Milling or waterjet cutting is recommended.
What is its resistance to ultraviolet light?

By itself, without additives, UHMWPE is resistant to UV and thermal oxidation (unlike HDPE/LDPE). With the addition of stabilizers, the resistance increases to a level sufficient for several decades.
What is the procedure for setting the warranty period for products (regulation)?

As a rule, we provide a warranty for the material's conformity to the specifications in the technical data sheet (wear resistance, tensile strength, impact strength, etc.)—this can be considered the main warranty aspect.

In individual cases, we provide a warranty for the performance of the lining or product in a specific unit/mechanism (for example, a "turnkey" bucket)—up to 1 year.
