What is UHMWPE

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is also a kind of polyethylene (PE). The molecular weight is relatively high, the molecular weight above 2.5 million is called UHMWPE, and the molecular weight of the UHMWPE pipes produced in Luoyang is about 3 million. Theoretically, the higher the molecular weight, the better the performance of the product, but the higher the molecular weight, the stronger the toughness, the more prone to brittle crack. So at present, the molecular weight of UHMWPE products does not exceed 3.5 million. Mainly used in industrial field.

One of them is called ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene engineering pipeline referred to as UHMW-PE, due to its high molecular weight, its performance is relatively superior. Especially if the base wear resistance is 47 times the steel pipe, PE100 23 times. Can be used in mining; house mine, tailing, tailing slurry transmission class, non-ferrous gold exhibition slag transmission class; river dredging: dredging pipeline y sand pumping pipeline, sand discharge pipeline; food: food, wheat, corn and other granular body transport. The self-lubricating, non-scaling, non-toxic and hygienic properties are also preferred by the food industry.

UHMWPE pipes are most commonly used in the industrial field, mainly because of its strong impact resistance, non-polar, non-scaling properties are the best pipes for conveying slurry, solid-liquid mixture, and so on. It can enhance the service life and save the cleaning cost, etc.
