The difference between ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and high-density polyethylene

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene products are made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene as the raw material, mixed with various additives, and molded by a dedicated molding machine. The props are resistant to impact, low temperature, wear, chemical corrosion, self-lubricating, and absorbing impact energy. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene sheets have been widely used in major metallurgical, mining, power, coal, chemical and other enterprises in China for many years and have been widely recognized.

The main raw material of high-density polyethylene products is high-density polyethylene, which is characterized by acid and alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, excellent electrical insulation, and can still maintain a certain toughness at low temperature. Surface hardness, tensile strength, rigidity and other mechanical strength are high.

Ulta high molecular weight polyethylene, abbreviated as UHMW-PE; The abbreviation for high-density polyethylene is HDPE. The molecular weight of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is much higher than that of high-density polyethylene, with a molecular weight greater than 3 million; And the molecular weight of high-density polyethylene is only a few hundred thousand. The production speed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is much slower than that of high-density polyethylene. A single line of ultra-high board can only produce a few tens of meters per day, while high-density polyethylene can produce several thousand meters per day. The inner and outer surfaces of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are much smoother than those of high-density polyethylene, so there is no scaling. The comprehensive performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is higher than that of high-density polyethylene. Such as high wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, impact resistance, oxidation resistance, no scaling, good flexibility, low temperature resistance, non-toxic, and convenient connection. Lightweight and easy to install. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) are commonly referred to as high molecular weight polyethylene products, but in fact, there is a substantial difference between the two.
