Additive to unsaturated polyesters, epoxides and other polymers to impart the unique properties of UHMWPE. Used in industrial parts, coatings and wear surfaces at 10-40 wt. %.
Features and Benefits
Polar surface groups assist chemical and physical bonding to matrix material. Contributes superior abrasion resistance, reduced coefficient of friction, enhanced tear strength and improved moisture resistance. Easier to process in particle form than molten UHMWPE.
Physical form
Particle surface is oxidized to contain acid and hydroxy groups.

To evaluate the clinical performance of polyethylene fiber for anterior primary teeth restorations in children after 2.5 years, according to modified Ryge criteria. Fifty-five maxillary incisors with extensive caries in 24 Iranian patients (mean age 4.2 years) were restored. All
Hypothermia on admission to the NICU is associated with increased mortality in preterm infants. Many newborns are hypothermic on admission despite using polyethylene bags (PBs). Using exothermic mattresses (EMs) in addition to PBs may reduce hypothermia but increase hyperthermia. We
