Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe series
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) pipe produced by our company is a linear polyethylene pipe with a viscosity average molecular weight of more than 3.5 million. It almost concentrates the advantages of various plastics: wear resistance, impact resistance, non-scaling, chemical Stability, low temperature resistance, economy, sanitation and non-toxic properties. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is extruded by a special process and is a new type of engineering plastic pipe with excellent comprehensive performance.
Product Features
Wear resistance: Due to the extremely large molecular weight of UHMWPE, its abrasion resistance ranks first among plastics.
Chemical stability: UHMWPE pipe has excellent chemical stability. It is an inert material similar to polytetrafluoroethylene. It can transport various corrosive media within a certain temperature and concentration range without external need Do any anti-corrosion treatment.
Impact resistance: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe has the highest impact resistance and impact absorption energy. Whether it is external impact or internal pressure fluctuations, it is difficult to crack, especially in a low temperature environment, its impact strength can reach The highest value, this flexibility provides a safe and reliable guarantee for the operation of the conveying system. Compared with the impact strength of other materials.
Non-scaling: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has long molecular chain, few branches, few ends, low surface energy, good self-lubricating performance, so it has the characteristics of non-sticking and non-scaling, which fundamentally solves water Or the fouling and precipitation of the slurry can keep the flow rate and flow rate of the system unchanged for a long time.
Aging resistance: UHMWPE pipes have good weather resistance and aging resistance, and their service life exceeds 50 years under natural sunlight conditions.
Low temperature resistance: Excellent low temperature resistance, and its impact resistance and wear resistance are basically unchanged at -269°C. It is currently the only engineering plastic that can work at temperatures close to absolute zero.
Economical: The weight of UHMWPE pipe is eight molecules of steel pipe. Its installation adopts flange and hot-melt welding technology, which is fast and convenient, and can greatly reduce installation costs. In addition, due to its low friction coefficient (0.09), good self-lubricating performance, and its non-scaling property, its operating cost is 30% less than that of ordinary carbon steel.
Other features: It is also hygienic, non-toxic, non-absorbent, anti-static, and noise-absorbing. Its installation adopts flange or hot-melt welding technology, which is quick and convenient, safe and reliable, and can greatly reduce installation costs.
