UTEC® is Braskem America’s premier line of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) resins, known for their extraordinary strength and versatility. With molecular weights more than 10 times higher than standard High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resins, products produced using UTEC® resins offer unparalleled performance across a wide range of demanding applications.

Key Features of UTEC®:

Exceptional Strength: UTEC®’s ultra-high molecular weight gives products remarkable durability, making it an ideal material

Lightweight Advantage: Products using UTEC® resin are approximately eight times lighter than steel, providing significant advantages in weight-sensitive applications.

Outstanding Wear Resistance: Products made of UTEC® resin exhibit high abrasion resistance, ensuring that parts last longer, even in environments with constant friction and wear.

High Impact Resistance: Materials made with UTEC® resin can absorb heavy impacts, making them suitable for tough, heavy-duty environments.

Self-Lubricating: With a very low coefficient of friction, UTEC® naturally reduces wear and tear, minimizing the need for additional lubrication.

Versatile Applications Across Industries:

UTEC® resins are designed to meet the needs of a diverse array of industries,

including:

Construction

Agriculture

Material Handling

Transportation

Textile

Pulp and Paper

Food and Beverage

Mining

Marine

Porous Plastics

Oil and Gas

High-Performance Fibers

Battery Separators

Wastewater Treatment

Product Range:

UTEC® resins are available in powder form, with products covering a broad

spectrum of molecular weights and particle sizes. The molecular weight ranges

from 3 million g/mol in the lower range, extending to an impressive 10 million

g/mol in the higher range, ensuring there is a UTEC® solution for every need.
