1. Molecular weight:LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

The molecular weight of UHMWPE is usually in the range of millions to tens of millions, while that of HDPE is usually in the range of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.The high molecular weight of UHMWPE gives it better physical and chemical properties.LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

2. Abrasion resistanceLlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

UHMWPE has excellent abrasion resistance and is commonly used in highly abrasive environments such as conveyor belts and liners. HDPE has some abrasion resistance, but not as much as UHMWPE.LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

3. Impact strength:LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

The impact strength of UHMWPE is very high and can withstand heavy impacts and shocks, making it suitable for high-impact applications, while the impact strength of HDPE is relatively low.LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

4. Temperature resistance:LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

UHMWPE's high temperature resistance is relatively poor, generally used below 80°C, while HDPE's temperature resistance can reach about 130°C.LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

5.Processability:LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

HDPE is easy to process and suitable for injection and extrusion moulding, while UHMWPE is relatively difficult to process and usually requires special equipment and technology.LlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China

Different application scenarios for the two types of sheetsLlUPeliouPlastic-Best Polyethylene UHMWPE HDPE Factory in China
