Transplas U.H.M.W. Pe is an ultra high molecular weight high density Polyethylene
with a high degree of polymerisation, prepared by the Ziegler catalysts.
The molecular weight of Transplas U.M.H.W. Pe lies between 4-6 million; the molecular
weight is determind by the light scattering of the polymer. With TransPlas U.H.M.W. Pe
a number of technically important properties are obtained as the molecular weight increases.
TransPlas 1000 (U.H.M.W. Pe)
TransPlas 1000 (U.H.M.W. Pe) is safe with food
and is widely used in the food, dairy, cosmetics and
packaging industries for the manufacture of Chain
Guides, Belt Guides, Slide Strips, Wear Strips, Rollers,
Bearing Bushes, Starwheels, Scrolls, etc.
TransPlas 1000R green
and black (U.H.M.W. Pe)
TransPlas 1000R green and black (U.H.M.W. Pe) has
all the properties of 1000 (virgin grade), except for
a slightly lower notched impact strength and ball
indentation hardness. TransPlas 1000R is primarily
used for applications where outstanding abrasion
resistance, superb anti-friction and mechanical
properties are required at an economic price.
TransPlas has a range of Polyethylene for all sorts
of applications where the polymer can have an
additive applied at time of manufacture, ie. Glass,
Ceramic, Carbon, etc.
A Glass and Ceramic additive improves the wearresistance
compared with 1000 grade by 150-250%.
A Carbon additive gives anti-static properties.
TransPlas 1000
TransPlas 1000 has a very low coefficient of
friction 0.05 wet, 0.10 dry. For more information
see Physical Properties section page 845.
TransPlas 1000 has a thermal linear expansion of
approximately 2mm per 10°C per 1000mm; this
does increase as the temperature rises. These figures
quoted are a rule of thumb. Care must be taken
when there are high tolerances, with varying high
temperatures. It is recommended to leave expansion
gaps in such cases, ie. for Chain Guides and Wear
Strips, etc.
Other materials
TransPlas can also supply 500 grade high molecular
weight Polyethylene (H.M.W.Pe), PVC, special types
of Nylons, PTFE, etc. finished or semi-finished.
