Application of UHMWPE
Due to its many excellent characteristics, UHMWPE shows great advantages in the high-performance fiber market, including mooring ropes in offshore oil fields to high-performance lightweight composites, and plays an important role in modern warfare, aviation, aerospace, coastal defense equipment and other fields.

1. UHMWPE can be used as the lining of Tuo Dou, silo and chute for loading powdery materials such as coal, lime, cement, mineral powder, salt and grain. Because of its excellent self-lubrication and non-stickiness, the above powdery documents will not adhere to the storage and transportation facilities, thus ensuring stable sponsorship.

2. Compared with other pipes, the outstanding performance of UHMWPE used for liquid sponsorship pipes such as quicksand is: compared with bamboo pipes, the service life is increased by 18 times, and the interest is reduced to 1/25; compared with nylon pipes, the service life is increased by 3 times and the interest is reduced to18. When sponsoring, the barrier in the tube is 25% smaller than that in the non-metallic tube, which greatly improves the sponsorship frequency.

3. Within the lining of chutes, buckets and ore bins, when using traditional non-metallic documents, in cold and humid weather, articles will be thawed on the non-metallic materials, but not when using polymer polyethylene plates, which greatly reduces the unloading cost. After the self-unloading chute of bulk truck is lined with a layer of polymer polyethylene plate, the symmetrical unloading time is shortened from 16 ~ 20h to 8h.

4. In terms of national defense quartermaster equipment, due to its good impact resistance and large specific energy absorption, it can be made into protective clothing, helmets and bulletproof materials in the military, such as armored protective plates for helicopters, tanks and ships, protective shells for radars, missile covers, body armor, stab-resistant clothing, shields and parachutes.

5. In aerospace engineering, because of its light weight, high strength and good impact resistance, it is suitable for wing tip structure, spacecraft structure and buoy aircraft of various aircraft. At the same time, it can also be used as a deceleration parachute for space shuttle landing and a rope for hanging heavy objects on the plane, replacing the traditional steel wire rope and synthetic fiber rope, and its development speed is extremely rapid.

6. In the civil field, ropes, cables, sails and fishing gear are suitable for marine engineering, and the breaking length under self-weight is 8 times that of steel wire rope and 2 times that of aramid fiber. This rope is used as mooring anchor rope for supertankers, offshore platforms and lighthouses. It solves the problem that the cable strength is reduced and broken due to the corrosion of steel cable, the corrosion, hydrolysis and ultraviolet degradation of nylon and polyester cable, and it needs to be replaced frequently.

7. In industrial applications, it can be used as pressure-resistant containers, conveyor belts, filter materials, automobile bumper plates, etc. In architecture, it can be used as a wall and partition structure. The toughness and impact resistance of cement can be improved by using it as reinforced cement composite material. Because of its excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, it is widely used in machinery manufacturing, and can be used to manufacture various mechanical parts, such as gears, cams, impellers, rollers, pulleys, bearings, bearing bushes, shaft sleeves, cutter shafts, gaskets, washers, elastic couplings, screws, etc.

8. In sporting goods, helmets, skis, sails, fishing rods, rackets, bicycles, gliders, ultralight aircraft parts, etc. have all been made, and their performance is superior to that of traditional materials.

9. In medicine, it is used in denture materials, medical implants, plastic suture and other fields. It has good biocompatibility, durability and high stability, and will not cause allergies. It has been used in clinical practice. It is also used in medical gloves and other medical measures.
