Product Description

Polyceramoplast™ PE1000, PE2000, and PE9000 are manufactured as sheets and rods/bars from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a molecular weight ranging from 5 to 9 million g/mol.
The material properties directly depend on the molecular weight: PE1000 has a molecular weight of approximately 4.5–5 million g/mol. PE9000 is about 9 million g/mol. PE1000 and PE2000 are identical materials, the difference in labeling is solely due to the naming conventions of different European manufacturers.

Product Advantage

Density is about 0.94 g/cm³. The operating temperature range is -260°C ~ +80 °C. The coefficient of friction is about 0.15, anti-adhesion rating is 4/10, and wear resistance is 3/10 (according to the internal scale of GELAR ). The material is characterized by high impact toughness, chemical resistance, and extremely high crack resistance.

Standard sheets are available in natural and black colors, but can be custom-colored according to the RAL scale upon request. Black sheets are additionally modified with light stabilizers for outdoor use. They can also be produced in an anti-static version.

Product Uses

The primary application is as equipment lining to prevent the adhesion and freezing of bulk materials under low abrasive load, as well as for manufacturing parts via mechanical machining.

FAQ

FAQs

Is it possible to use UHMWPE as protection against abrasive wear (sandblasting)? The task is to protect a metal cement slurry delivery nozzle from wear. Would an UHMWPE liner help protect the nozzle from wear? Or should we consider boron carbide?

A: For the stated purposes, the use of UHMWPE is not feasible—it will wear out quickly. Few materials can compare with ceramics in terms of wear resistance.

Polyceramoplast composites are used to combat adhesion/freezing and 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.
Earlier, there was a response regarding cutting with a milling machine or waterjet. Would a handheld router or an electric wood planer be suitable for chamfering?

Chamfering with manual tools is possible. The accuracy of the processing in this case depends on the skill of the operator.
How suitable is laser cutting for UHMWPE sheets of varying thicknesses? What recommendations can you provide regarding laser cutting?

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

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

Typically, we provide a warranty for the material's compliance with the technical specifications (wear resistance, tensile strength, impact toughness, etc.)—this can be considered the policy and the main aspect of the warranty.

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)—for up to 1 year. The decision is made based on a completed questionnaire.
