Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a kind of engineering thermoplastics with more than 2 million viscosity-average molecular weight, under the polymerization of ethylene, butadiene monomer in the catalyst.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe has the superior performance such as very high wear resistance, impact resistance, excellent resistance to internal pressure strength, resistance to environmental stress cracking, eminent self-lubricating, anti-adhesion, the unique low temperature resistance, good chemical stability and so on
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is widely used in metallurgical mines, electric power, petroleum, natural gas, textiles, paper making, food, chemical industry, machinery, electrical and other industries.
Its main characteristics are as the follows:
1. Extremely high wear resistance
2. Very high impact resistance
3. Corrosion resistance
4. Good self-lubrication
5. The unique resistance to low temperature
6. Not easy to form dirt
7. Long life-span
8.Easy installation
9.protecting the enviroment
The nominal diameter is from 65mm to 800mm, and the wall thickness if from 8mm to 38mm usually.
The nominal pressure of UHMWPE pipes etc. is from 0.6 Mpa to 2.0 Mpa and UHMWPE composite pipe can reach 6.4 Mpa.
