Product overviewSUNMAP™ is a porous sheet made of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE), produced using Nitto Denko's proprietary manufacturing process. The porous structure combines air permeability with the intrinsic durability of UHMW-PE, yielding low friction, cushioning and resistance to chemicals, abrasion and impact.
Key features- Porous, air-permeable sheet structure
- Low friction and excellent sliding characteristics
- Cushioning and shock-absorbing performance due to porosity
- Chemical resistance suitable for industrial environments
- High abrasion resistance
- High impact resistance
- Manufactured by Nitto Denko's special SUNMAP™ process
Size tables and performance dataDetailed dimensional tables, material properties and performance charts are provided in the product datasheets and brochure. Refer to the technical documents for available thicknesses, tolerances and test values.
Applications- Components requiring breathability combined with low friction
- Cushioning or shock-absorbing parts and pads
- Sliding elements in chemical or abrasive environments
- Industrial seals, linings and protective layers where impact resistance is required
