Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with a linear structure with excellent comprehensive properties. UHMWPE is a polymer compound that is difficult to process, and has the characteristics of super wear resistance, self-lubrication, relatively high strength, stable chemical properties, and strong anti-aging properties. The processing technologies of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) include pressing, extrusion, blow molding and injection molding, as well as other special methods of molding.
Due to its many excellent properties, UHMWPE has shown great advantages in high-performance lightweight composite materials, and plays a pivotal role in modern warfare and aviation, aerospace, maritime defense equipment and other fields.
1. UHMWPE can be used as the lining of drag buckets, silos, and chutes for coal, cement, salt, grain and other powdered materials. Because of its excellent self-lubrication and non-stickiness, it can make the above powder Documents not stick to storage facilities.
2. UHMWPE is used for liquid sponsoring pipelines such as quicksand, which greatly increases the sponsoring frequency.
3. In aerospace engineering, due to its lightweight, high strength and good impact resistance, it is suitable for wingtip structures of various aircraft, spacecraft structures and buoy aircraft. In the military, it can be made into helmets, helicopters, tanks and ships armor protection plates, etc.
4. In industrial applications, it can be used as a pressure-resistant container, conveyor belt, filter material, automobile buffer board, etc.; in construction, it can be used as a wall or partition structure, etc., and it can be used as reinforcing cement composite material to improve the toughness of cement, to 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, rollers, pulleys, bearings, shafts, seals, elastic couplings and other mechanical parts.
5. It has been made into skis, sailing boards, fishing rods, rackets and gliders, ultra-light aircraft parts, etc. in sporting goods, and its performance is better than traditional materials.
6. 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.
