Most Wear Resistant UHMWPE Slurry floating pipe
2. Raw Material of UHMWPE Slurry Floating Pipe
The molecular weight of a polymer is of prime importance in its synthesis and application. The interesting and useful mechanical properties which are uniquely associated with polymeric materials are a consequence of their high molecular weight. Most important mechanical properties depend on and vary considerably with molecular weight. Thus, strength of polymer does not begin to develop until a minimum molecular weight of about 5000~10000 is achieved. Above that size, there is a rapid increase in the mechanical performance of polymers as their molecular weight increases; the effect levels off at still high molecular weights. In most instances, there is some molecular weight range in which a given polymer property will be optimum for a particular application.
As showed in the image above, the UHMWPE(ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is being with more than 1.5 million viscosity-average molecular weight. As a new kind of engineering thermoplastics, the UHMWPE slurry floating pipe has much higher performance over conventional HDPE pipe. In most of the engineering conditions, the UHMWPE floating
Pipes are showing the excellent properties in wear resistance, impact resistance, low temperature resistance and chemical resistance, and the pipes are self-lubricating, anti-adhesion with low coefficient of friction.
Hereby, there are some tests are conducted to prove the high properties of UHMWPE floating Pipes:
