Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
The plastic Top chain is born!
High impact resistance even at low temperatures
Plastic block chain RSP80 Link Material
First use of UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene)!
Taking advantage of the material's properties, we have added it to our lineup of Plastic block chain as "low-temperature and chemical-resistant UPE."
It has high impact resistance, excellent chemical resistance, and complies with the Food Sanitation Act.In addition, it is made of materials approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), so it can be used in a variety of situations.
If you are considering other plastic Top chain, please contact us.
Features of low-temperature and chemical-resistant UPE
High impact resistance even at low temperatures
Excellent chemical resistance
Excellent wear resistance
High impact resistance even at low temperatures
UHMWPME (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is shock-resistant and does not easily shatter when broken, reducing the risk of foreign matter getting into the chain due to breakage.In addition, the material used is FDA (U.S. Food Sanitation Administration) certified and complies with the Food Sanitation Act, so it can be used safely to transport food.
