UHMW PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)

UHMW PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is a commonly-used polymer which offers resistance to many chemical solutions, particularly aqueous-based ones. The polymer is durable and ideal for use in many "room temperature" applications. Care should be taken when using anything that is manufactured from UHMWPE in conjunction with some organic solutions as well as chlorinated solvents and nitric acid.
