What are the advantages of UPE film compared to PTFE film

Return to the list
Previous / Next

UPE film is manufactured from high-quality raw materials, with a molecular weight as low as 4.5 million, meeting ASTM requirements. Thanks to its superior abrasion resistance, impact resistance and self-lubricating properties, UPE film has become a widely used industrial raw material. It is extensively employed in a variety of applications and products, including coal mining, shipbuilding, transport, footpads, foot pads, insulation materials, wear-resistant gaskets, furniture glides, slide rails, wear-resistant panels and food processing worktops. From a cost perspective, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE) film has a lower density; on a per-square-metre basis, UPE is 50% cheaper than polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Consequently, UPE film has gradually replaced PTFE film as the raw material for footpads in contract manufacturing. Compared to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the material traditionally used in mouse pads, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE) offers superior wear resistance, whilst its self-lubricating properties are comparable to those of PTFE. Furthermore, from a cost perspective, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE) has a lower density; on a per-square-metre basis, UPE is 50% cheaper than PTFE.
