UHMWPE Sheet is a superior system performance engineering plastics, such as high wear-resistant plates, impact resistance, low coefficient of friction, good self-lubricating properties, excellent low temperature resistance, chemical corrosion. 
 1, to improve wear resistance. Molecular weight polyethylene to improve performance of the most striking one is that it has a very high wear resistance, the performance of many engineering applications are very valuable. In the present, all plastic, its wear resistance is the best, even many metallic materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, bronze, etc.) are not as rules of grinding it. With the increase of molecular weight polyethylene, this material more wear-resistant. 
 2, high impact resistance. Impact strength of UHMWPE and its molecular weight of the molecular weight of less than 200 million, the increase with the molecular weight, impact strength increased from 200 million or so to reach a peak, then peak, the molecular weight and then increased impact strength but will decline. This is because the molecular chain is very light when the crystal hinder its role, so that in the presence of large molecules in amorphous region which can absorb a larger impact energy. 
 Based on the literature, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and other plastics were measured according to ASTM-D256 impact strength value, drawn from the comparison: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene at room temperature impact resistance can be divided into the known impact-resistant polycarbonate ester comparable, commonly used in engineering plastics. UHMWPE-40oC even at low temperatures, there is still ridiculed for impact resistance, even in the liquid-gas-269oC temperature, can still maintain good impact resistance, excellent low temperature properties of this so high molecular weight polyethylene to low-temperature engineering applications. 
 3, low coefficient of friction. Very high molecular weight polyethylene wear, and low coefficient of friction, good self-lubricating, is an ideal bearing sleeve, slide, lining materials. 
 Use of UHMWPE as a friction device components, in addition to improved wear life, it can also receive energy-saving effect. 
 4, good chemical resistance. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has good chemical resistance properties, in addition to concentrated nitric acid, concentrated, but it is all the lye, the acid will not corrode, and can be temperature (80oC concentration applied in the <20 % nitric acid, <75% is also stable, its water, washing liquid is also very stable.) 
 However, the high molecular weight polyethylene material or halogenated aromatic compounds in the material (especially in high temperature conditions) can easily swell, therefore, pay special attention to the application. 
 5, low water absorption. UHMWPE is very low water absorption, it is almost non-absorbent, does not swell in water, much less absorbent than nylon. 
 6, thermal properties. According to ASTM (load 4.6kg/cm2) method of measurement, heat distortion temperature of 85oC, in a smaller load, temperature up to 90oC, in exceptional circumstances, to allow use at higher temperatures, due to ultra-high molecular weight Polyethylene is an excellent material toughness, and thus its resistance to low performance is excellent, in-269oC low temperatures, still has some scalability, but no signs of embrittlement. 
 7, the electrical properties. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in a wide temperature range, have very good electrical properties, and its volume resistivity of 10-18CM, the breakdown voltage of 50KV/mm, dielectric constant 2.3. In a wide temperature and frequency range, small changes in its electrical properties. In the heat temperature range are suitable for electrical engineering structural materials and paper mill material. 
 8, non-toxic high molecular weight polyethylene tasteless, non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive in itself, along with the physical and physiological adaptation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to allow it to use in contact with the food and pharmaceutical applications.
