UHMWPE

Product Description

For over 40 years, UHMWPE has been the chosen material to use within the production of medical implant applications. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, otherwise known as UHMWPE, has been relied upon due to its high resistance to abrasion and wear, including its incredibly strong and durable properties.

Its high abrasion resistance and toughness means that it is an exceptionally attractive solution to the complexities of wear. Orthoplastics manufacture UHMWPE from Celanese GUR® 1020, 1050 and 1020-E polymer.
