Move forward with a material that requires no compromises

Today, engineers and new product wizards in virtually every industry are testing the outer limits of high-performance materials. Upcoming innovations in areas from biomedical implants to the (bulk) material handling industry will require the kind of raw materials and components that offer new levels of abrasion resistance, tensile strength, chemical resistance and low friction maneuverability.

DSM is proud to provide these innovators with a material that offers unprecedented advances in the performance characteristics that matter most.

Stamylan® UH is an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material —developed and produced by DSM — that is being used by global manufacturers to ensure products and processes perform under the most extreme conditions.

Strong and durable

Extra long molecular chains give Stamylan® UH its unique properties including:

• Greater resistance to abrasion than carbon steel
• More resistance to chemicals than other polymers
• Greater impact strength than other (engineering) plastics
• Lower friction coefficient than PS, PC, PET, PA6 and steel

Additionally, Stamylan® UH features very good electric and dielectric properties, is self-lubricating and maintains very low moisture uptake.

Reliable, consistent and cost-effective

If consistency of material (i.e. uniform and narrow particle size) is important to your process and product, you owe it to yourself to investigate Stamylan® UH. In addition to offering a very high and consistent product quality, Stamylan® UH also is exceptionally clean, not dusty and has excellent additive mixing and colorizing performance. In short, it is a versatile and cost-effective material that can immediately prove itself in your product development as well as in your production process.
