UHMWPE Pipe is a kind of polyethylene plastic pipe with good abrasion resistance. It has excellent pipe performance and is widely used. The following let you know and choose the UHMWPE pipe product suitable for your use.
When the molecular weight of the UHMWPE pipe is 2.5 million, the surface strength is higher after repeated impact, and as the molecular weight increases, the impact resistance is higher. When the impact resistance of the pipe is high, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe with a high molecular weight should be selected.
UHMWPE Pipe
The wear resistance of UHMWPE pipe is very good, and its wear resistance is outstanding. It is widely used in the transportation of slurry materials, ore slurry, mortar, mortar, mud, tailings, seawater and other fields. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is not high enough in hardness and is not suitable for conveying materials containing sharp large particles, which is easily scratched by sharp objects.
UHMWPE pipe is acid-proof, alkali-proof, salt-proof and organic medium, it is a kind of corrosion-resistant pipe in plastic pipe. It is immersed in the corrosion solution without any surface anomalies, and other physical properties are almost unchanged. The pipeline is suitable for working at -269 to +80°C and cannot transport toluene and ethylene dichloride. UHMWPE pipes cannot withstand high pressure. If the pressure is higher in working conditions, it is recommended to choose steel lined UHMWPE composite pipes.
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene wear-resistant pipeline as a mineral powder transportation pipeline has excellent comprehensive performance, wear resistance, low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, self-lubrication, and impact resistance are the highest values among all plastics, and the wear resistance is better than PTFE Ethylene, nylon, carbon steel and other materials can work for a long time at -169 to +80 ℃. They are called "amazing" engineering plastics. Now the production technology of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipes is becoming mature and more and more The project adopts this kind of pipeline and becomes a new type of thermoplastic engineering plastic with moderate price and excellent performance. It almost concentrates the advantages of various plastics. It is wear-resistant, impact-resistant, self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, low-temperature resistant, hygienic, non-toxic, and non-toxic. The comprehensive performance of adhesion, non-absorption, etc. is an ideal pipe material.
There are many possibilities available when selecting the appropriate polymers for your special projects, which can make it challenging to make a decision. UHMW plastic could be the best option for you if you’re looking for a robust, lightweight, and long-lasting plastic. This plastic, often referred to as Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene frequently goes under the radar and is not widely used by manufacturers and enterprises.
But as it turns out, this plastic is perfect for industrial and commercial uses. For a good reason, too—it offers a wealth of advantages over other kinds of plastic available on the market. Look at this:
UHMW stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, as was previously mentioned. This material is robust and adaptable, with good abrasion, impact, and wear resistance while yet being relatively light. The large molecular weight and surface of UHMW—between 3 and 6 million molecules—are the key to this material’s exceptional qualities. Since of this, UHMW is perfect for high-temperature locations because it won’t melt or transform into molten liquid.
What is Polyethylene Plastic Used For?
In general, polyethylene plastic has a number of beneficial uses. When precautions must be taken as well, it is appropriate due to its strength and longevity. Let’s examine UHMWPE Material and how it may benefit you, spanning a range of commercial and industrial usage.
UHMWPE does not meet the criterion since PTFE is often used in automotive applications in high-temperature settings. However, there are a variety of applications where the components function at room temperature, e.g., automobile doors, seats, hand levers, etc., and UHMWPE can find a lot of use here. We are aware that UHMWPE is employed in the worn strip found within automobile doors. UHMWPE wear strips are often a good, affordable substitute for PTFE wear strips.
Although legal limitations forbid the use of materials other than PTFE in POT bearings, there are several sliding bearing applications that do not comply with government regulations and are thus potential uses for UHMWPE. UHMWPE might be used to make plain sliding pads and sliding bearings successfully.
PTFE has historically been utilized as insulation in many electronics component parts. We have successfully tested UHMWPE for these applications in a number of instances and persuaded the customer to switch.
Materials used in food service must be simple to sanitize while preventing the growth of mold and germs. Additionally, materials must be durable enough to withstand potentially harsh cleansers. UHMW is robust enough to withstand all kinds of cleansers and is rust-resistant. The best part is that it is available in a variety of finishes, making it simple to match a UHMW food shelf to existing decor.
UHMWPE material is ideally suited for conveyor systems because of its capacity to tolerate high temperatures, frequent stress, and chemical exposure. This material is also perfect for making star wheels for conveyor systems, which hasten and effectively move goods through assembly and sorting processes.
UHMW is frequently used to make docks and dock fenders for a good cause. This material can survive moisture for a long time and is water-resistant. Additionally, it is resistant to abrasion. Thus there is almost little risk that it will sustain damage when boats crash into it when docking.
UHMW is frequently used for boom trucks and outrigger pads. UHMWPE Material performs well in these high-stress applications due to its low friction coefficient and excellent impact strength. Outrigger pads can prevent cranes and boom trucks from slipping on unsteady construction sites. Furthermore, UHMWPE Material performs well outdoors since it can withstand a broad range of temperatures.
It might surprise you to hear that impact resistance makes UHMW plastic the perfect material for body armor. Additionally, it is flexible and lightweight, which makes it pleasant to wear and allows it to be twisted into the various sizes and forms required to shape armor properly.

Although this can seem like the perfect material, there are a few drawbacks you need to be aware of. UHMWPE is not appropriate for high-temperature applications since it has a lower melting point (297° to 305° F) than several popular polymers. It also has a low coefficient of friction, which may be a disadvantage depending on the application.
Under steady stress, UHMWPE Material yarns can also experience “creep,” which is a progressive elongation of the fibers. Some individuals would see the cost as a drawback, but with UHMWPE, less really is more. Given this material’s robustness, you wouldn’t need to purchase as much as you could with other materials.

UHMWPE has the following impressive statistics: up to 15 times the abrasion resistance of steel while being 8 times lighter than steel and having 5 times lower coefficient of friction than steel and offering as low as 1/10 the pressure loss of steel pipes. uhmwpe pipes are ideal for the transport of powder and coal ash in thermal power systems, backwater pipelines, the transport of mine tailings and slurry in the mining industry, the high-pressure transport of pulverized coal and coal-water slurry of coal preparation plant in the coal industry, as well as the transport of mud and corrosive media with slag in other industries.
UHMWPE material is 1/8 the weight of mild steel but is high in tensile strength. Also unlike steel, UHMWPE is an inexpensive alternative to metals and ceramics, and because it is self-lubricating, long-wearing, and resistant to abrasion, and corrosion. UHMWPE is well suited for pipe applications that demand high abrasion resistance combined with low friction.
Ultra High Molecular Weight PE is a material with many years very good results in the paper-, conveying-, machining constructions and fishing industry.

For water quality fluid, solid particles, powder, slurry, etc., traditional metal pipes are difficult to meet the requirements, but UHMW-PE pipe can take replace of it, with extremely high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, self-lubricating, impact absorption and other comprehensive properties, in various industries have a wide range of applications. It has unique advantages in the transportation of solid particles, powder, slurry and gas. Beijing Non-ferrous Metallurgy Design and Research Institute "Plastic Pipe wear test Report" pointed out that: with four different materials of the pipe, under the same diameter, flow rate, test materials, concentration conditions of the test, the results are: The average annual wear thickness of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene pipe is 11.mm/ year; Engineering grade polypropylene tube 13.mm/year; UHMW-PE 5.mm/year; Steel pipe 36.mm/ year.
The test result shows that the wear resistance of Uhmwpe Pipe is seven times higher than that of steel pipe. The unique molecular structure of UHMW-PE pipe has the advantages of extremely high anti-sliding friction ability and light weight, and the specific gravity of the unit pipe length is only one-eighth of the weight of the steel pipe, which is more convenient for loading and unloading, transportation and installation, and it can reduce the labor intensity of workers. UHMW-PE pipe has strong anti-aging and is not easy to aging for 50 years. It can not only be used on the ground, but also can be buried underground. And it can be installed through flanged. UHMW-PE pipeline is safe and convenient to install, and labor saving, no need to corrosion prevention, fully reflects the use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipeline "energy saving, environmental protection, economic, efficient" advantages.
2. Application Effect
UHMW-PE pipeline in the transport of high wear mining slurry application.
The concentrator of Lunan Mining Company has an annual processing capacity of 900,000 tons, with complex ore properties. In order to improve the grade of concentrate, it has three closed circuit grinding, three flat surfaces, high-frequency vibration fine screen classification, eight magnetic channels, and heavy joint sorting, and the final concentrate is more than 90% of -200 mesh. The process is complicated, the usage amount of pipeline is large, and the wear of the pipeline is also extremely serious. In particular, the ore containing kaolin and other slime is easy to adhere to and block the pipeline. In order to ensure normal production and reduce the opening and stopping time caused by the pipeline, the company's engineering and technical personnel have been carrying out uninterrupted exploration and attempts to turn the above-ground pipeline to extend the service life. In particular, the environment in the corridor is humid, and the corrosion of the steel pipe is serious. The corrosion resistance is solved by replacing the steel pipe with ordinary high-density plastic pipe, but the pipe is not wear-resistant, and the use effect has been not ideal.
After that, the company has adopted UHMW-PE pipeline produced by Shandong Yanggu Dragon New Material Company to solve the problems of wear, corrosion and mine blocking during production.
UHMW-PE pipe is lightweight and flexible. In the narrow working environment, and in the case of not easy to use cranes and other lifting equipment, the UHMWPE pipe is convenient for manual operation; In the case of large output, tight tasks, short parking maintenance time, and faced with replacing large amount of pipeline works, it greatly shortens the construction period, reduces manpower and material resources, and improves work efficiency.
