Product Description

The "Polyceramoplast™-α", "Polyceramoplast™-γ", and "Polyceramoplast™-β" grades are dry ceramic-containing composites based on UHMWPE with a molecular weight of approximately 9 million g/mol, specifically developed for conditions of high abrasive load. The material is used as a lining against wear and adhesion from bulk materials. Typical application points include receiving hoppers, chutes, and troughs. The difference in service life compared to base UHMWPE with a molecular weight of approximately 9 million g/mol (also known as PE9000) can reach up to ten times.

Product Advantage

✔ Enhanced Neutron Shielding & Radiation Protection
By incorporating boron elements into the UHMWPE matrix, the composite offers significantly improved neutron absorption and radiation mitigation capabilities — leveraging boron’s high neutron cross‑section together with UHMWPE’s hydrogen‑rich structure to slow and capture fast neutrons effectively. This makes it suitable for radiation shielding components, medical radiation environments, and nuclear facility safety applications.

✔ Exceptional Impact Resistance and Toughness
Built on a foundation of UHMWPE, our composite exhibits extremely high impact strength — one of the highest among commercial thermoplastics — helping it endure heavy loading, shock and dynamic force without cracking or breaking even in demanding service conditions.

✔ Superior Wear and Abrasion Performance
The inherent low friction and abrasion resistance of UHMWPE deliver long service life in sliding and contact applications, reducing wear‑related failures and maintenance intervals compared with conventional polymer materials.

✔ Excellent Chemical and Corrosion Resistance
This composite retains the broad chemical resistance of UHMWPE, allowing it to withstand many corrosive environments without degradation. This makes it ideal for industrial liners, protective barriers, and components exposed to moisture, chemicals, or harsh media.

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.
