Will it processed like normal polyolefins other than compression moulding ? PP and PP are widely used automobile applications. Can we use UHMWPE for the same. Normally UHMWPE is processing by compression moulding. HOw we can process it by other techniques like extrusion, blow moulidng or injection moulding
Assembly line Rider plate.
Used as snow slides protecting the frame in snowmobile drive suspension systems
Withstands constant abrasive friction of the vehicle's traction drive belt high-speed drive chain
This kind of durability, low friction and wear resistance are key reasons why UHMW is the material of choice in so many other applications
Sprockets, bearings, and many other component parts can be fabricated from UHMW for applications as diverse as railroad cars, spacecraft, and car and trucks.
it is used as the replacement of bearings and sleeves where the silent operations are needed (for examples it is used in the clutches where to reduce the friction / noise between the pedal and the actuation rod) which in turn reduce the pedal travel over a period of time due to prolongation of the internal diameter of the actuating rod.
This can be molded by injection molding also .
