King Hy-Pact® VHMW-PE

There are many cases in which UHMW-PE is being specified in installations where
abrasion and the impact-resistance of UHMW was not necessary. In many cases, the
customer’s only alternative was to use standard High-Density Polyethylene, which lacks the
durability to complement UHMW in most applications. So the King Plastic team created
King Hy-Pact^® VH (very high molecular polyethylene), a unique product designed to be a
perfect compliment to UHMW and to bridge the wide performance gap between
HDPE and UHMW.
When used properly, King Hy-Pact^® VH allows distributors and manufacturers to reduce
cost while suffering no performance loss. Naturally good design practices dictate that new
applications should always be tested before full-scale operations begin.

General Applications:

• Food packaging
• Chain belt guides
• Sprockets for conveyors
• Railroad cars
• Flanged rollers
• Chemical processing
• Pistons
• Valves, bearings
• Textiles Industrial loom pickers
• Waste water treatment
• Chain drive sprockets
• Pinion gear for fuel cell.

Features:

• King Hy-Pact^® VH is environmentally stabilized, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor applications.
• FDA and USDA approved, with an opaque, white color for a sanitary look.
• Standard sheet sizes from 1/8″ to 1″ in thickness – with some of the tightest tolerances in the industry.
• Available standard in 48″ x 120″ sheets or in custom sizes up to 72″ wide and infinite lengths, which often saves on installation costs and eliminates the need for splices.
• Thinner gauges may be rolled for shipment.
  
• Smooth, non-skived finish has a low friction coefficient for better material flow and superior cosmetics compared to virgin UHMW-PE.
• Not affected by most aqueous acids, alkalis or salt solutions
• Extremely flat, low-strain sheet made with King Plastic Corporation’s state-of-the art proprietary K-Stran^® process.
• Resistant to caking and bridging (build-up).
• Suitable for deep-freeze or electrical insulation operations
