Application of UHMWPE

Due to the many excellent properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, it has shown great advantages in the high-performance fiber market, including from mooring ropes in offshore oil fields to high-performance lightweight composite materials, in modern warfare and aviation, Aerospace, sea area defense equipment and other fields play a pivotal role.
1. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene can be used to make linings for drag buckets, silos, and chutes for powdery documents such as coal, lime, cement, mineral powder, salt, and grain, because it has excellent self-lubricating and non-stick properties , so that the above-mentioned powdery documents will not adhere to the storage and transportation facilities, ensuring stable sponsorship.
2. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used to recommend pipes for liquids such as quicksand. Compared with other pipes, the outstanding performance is: compared with bamboo pipes, the life span is increased by 18 times, and the interest rate is reduced to 1/25. Compared with nylon pipes, the life span The number is increased by 3 times, and the interest is reduced to 1/8. When sponsoring, the inner barrier of the tube is 25% smaller than that of non-metallic tubes, which greatly improves the frequency of sponsorship.
3. In the range of chute, bucket and ore cabin lining, etc., when using traditional non-metal files, the items will thaw on the non-metal in cold and humid weather, but the use of high molecular polyethylene sheets will never , thereby greatly reducing the unloading cost. After the self-unloading tank of the bulk vehicle and ship is lined with a layer of high-molecular polyethylene sheet, the average unloading time is shortened from the original 16-20h to 8h.
4. In terms of national defense military equipment, due to its good impact resistance and large specific energy absorption, it can be made into protective clothing, helmets, and bulletproof materials in the military, such as armored panels for helicopters, tanks and ships, and radar. Protective shell covers, missile covers, body armor, stab-proof clothing, shields, parachutes, etc.
5. In aerospace engineering, due to its light weight, high strength and good impact resistance, it is suitable for wingtip structures of various aircraft, spacecraft structures and buoy aircraft. At the same time, it can also be used as a deceleration parachute for space shuttle landing and a rope for hanging heavy objects on an aircraft, replacing traditional steel cables and synthetic fiber ropes, and its development speed is extremely rapid.
6. In the civilian field, the ropes, cables, sails and fishing gear made are suitable for marine engineering. The breaking length under its own weight is 8 times that of steel ropes and 2 times that of aramid fibers. The rope is used for fixed anchor ropes of supertankers, offshore operating platforms, lighthouses, etc., and solves the problems of corrosion, hydrolysis, and ultraviolet degradation caused by the use of steel cables in the past and the reduction and breakage of the cable strength caused by nylon and polyester cables. , the problem of frequent replacement.
7. In industrial applications, it can be used as pressure-resistant containers, conveyor belts, filter materials, automobile buffer plates, etc.; in construction, it can be used as walls, partition structures, etc. It can be used as reinforced cement composite materials to improve the toughness of cement , improve its impact resistance. Because of its excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, it is widely used in the machinery manufacturing industry, and can be used to make various gears, cams, impellers, rollers, pulleys, bearings, bearing bushes, bushings, shafts, gaskets, Gaskets, elastic couplings, screws and other mechanical parts.
8. In sporting goods, helmets, snowboards, sailing boards, fishing rods, rackets, bicycles, hang gliding boards, and ultra-lightweight aircraft parts have been made, and its performance is superior to traditional materials.
9. In medicine, it is used in the fields of dental tray materials, medical implants and plastic sutures. It has good biocompatibility and durability, and has high stability and will not cause allergies. It has been used in clinical applications . It is also used in medical gloves and other medical measures.
