Product features

ORTHOLEN 1020 is a material for medical applications, implant manufacturing.

White

product family features

Special polyethylene for joint prostheses (PE-UHMW, medical polyethylene). It has excellent wear resistance, is highly sterilizable and biocompatible. A radiation cross-linked version is also available.

ORTHOLS 1020

Some important features

  • High toughness (grooved Charpy): does not break
  • Elongation at break: 200%
  • Good machinability
  • Shore hardness: D 63
  • Good damping capacity
  • Does not swell when wet
  • Physiologically neutral
  • Good abrasion resistance

Main areas of application

Joint replacements

Machining technology

Chipping (turning, milling, drilling, sawing): traditional metalworking tools, in some cases woodworking tools - carbon steel, high-speed steel, carbide, diamond - can be used with a sharp finish. Cooling is recommended to allow high cutting speeds, e.g. v = 100-500 m/min for turning and milling, v = 50-100 m/min for drilling.
Gluing: not recommended.
Welding and shaping: feasible.

Available formats

  • Ortholen rod
