UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) has been widely used in various fields due to its excellent properties:
1.Textile industry: used to manufacture various components of textile machinery, such as rollers, yarn guides, shuttles, etc.
2.Paper industry: can produce components such as scraper plates, suction tank panels, and calendering rollers for paper machines.
3.Chemical industry: used for making chemical pipelines, reactor liners, valves, etc.
4.Medical industry: capable of processing medical devices such as artificial joints, prostheses, and medical catheters.
5.Sports equipment industry: commonly used for manufacturing skis, ice skates, surfboards, etc.
6.Aerospace : Due to its light weight, high strength, and good impact resistance, it can be used to manufacture internal structural components, seats, luggage racks, etc. of aircraft to reduce aircraft weight and improve fuel efficiency.
7.In the field of agriculture: used to manufacture components for agricultural machinery, such as plows, seeder parts, etc,
8.Electronic and electrical industry: Due to its excellent insulation and wear resistance, it can be used to manufacture insulation layers for wires and cables, casings for electronic devices, keyboard keys and other components, ensuring the safe operation and service life of electronic and electrical equipment.
1.Excellent wear resistance: UHMWPE has the highest wear resistance among plastics, four times higher than nylon 66 and polytetrafluoroethylene, and six times higher than carbon steel. It can be used in harsh wear environments for a long time, greatly extending the service life of equipment, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
2.Good corrosion resistance: It has excellent resistance to most chemical substances and stable performance in corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt. It can be used in pipelines, containers, and other equipment in chemical, electroplating, sewage treatment, and other fields to effectively prevent corrosion of media and ensure the normal operation of equipment.
3.Good self-lubricating properties: UHMWPE has an extremely low friction coefficient of only 0.07-0.11, with good self-lubricating properties. It can work under conditions of no lubrication or low oil lubrication, reducing equipment maintenance workload, lowering operating costs, and avoiding failures and accidents caused by lubrication issues.
4.Strong impact resistance: Its impact strength ranks among the top of all plastics, and it can maintain good toughness even at low temperatures, withstand large impact forces, and can be used to manufacture protective equipment such as bulletproof vests, helmets, and shields, as well as equipment components for impact resistance in industries such as mining and metallurgy.
5.Excellent low-temperature resistance: UHMWPE can maintain good performance even at extremely low temperatures, with a brittleness temperature as low as -269 ºC. It can be widely used in cold regions or low-temperature environments, such as polar scientific research equipment, low-temperature storage containers, etc.
6.Sanitary and non-toxic: UHMWPE meets food hygiene standards, is non-toxic and odorless, and can be used for equipment and appliances in food processing, medical and health fields, such as food conveyor belts, drug packaging, etc. It will not cause pollution to food and drugs.
Low density: Its density is only 0.93-0.95g/cm ³, lighter than water, easy to handle and install, and can also be used to manufacture products that require weight reduction, such as components in aerospace, shipbuilding, and other fields.
7.Good insulation performance: UHMWPE has excellent electrical insulation performance and can be used to manufacture insulation layers for wires and cables, insulation components for electronic and electrical equipment, etc. It can effectively prevent leakage and short circuit accidents.
