- Average Molecular Weight:4000000.0 - 4000000.0 g/mol
- Average Particle Size:160.0 - 160.0 microns
- Processing Methods:Compression Molding, Ram Extrusion
- Polymer Name:Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Braskem America UTEC® 4041 is an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a molecular weight about 10 times higher than high density polyethylene (HDPE) resins. This extremely high molecular weight yields several unique properties to this polymer such as high abrasion resistance, impact strength, and low coefficient of friction that makes it a self-lubricating material.
