With the continuous development of science and technology and chemical industry, various wear-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant polymer materials continue to appear. What is it today, UPE material. UPE, the English abbreviation of Ultra-highmolecularWeightPolyethylene, or UHMW-PE, that is, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It refers to a linear structure polyethylene with a molecular weight of 1.5 million, which is an engineering plastic with the best comprehensive performance. UPE is wear-resistant, impact-resistant, corrosion-resistant, self-lubricating, and shock-absorbing—these five properties are among the best in existing plastics.

We summarize the following advantages and disadvantages of UPE:

The wear resistance of UPE ranks the highest among plastics, which is 8 times that of ordinary carbon steel.
The impact strength of UPE plastic ranks first, which is 6 times that of ABS
UPE self-lubricating performance is equivalent to PTFE, and the price is only 1/8
UPE has strong corrosion resistance and high chemical technical performance
The viscosity of UPE is poor, and the surface of the product is not easy to adhere to other materials
UPE is hygienic, non-toxic, low temperature resistant, and malleable under liquid nitrogen
The disadvantages of UPE are: poor adhesion and poor fluidity
Due to its high wear resistance, high lubricity, corrosion resistance, non-stickiness, hygiene and safety, Litong Hydraulic Technology applies it to the adhesive layer of its own material conveying hose. The main outstanding product is the Litong series LT13068.5MPa UPE ultra-wear-resistant concrete conveying hose, which is mainly used for concrete conveying of construction machinery such as construction engineering pump trucks and mortar sprayers. Its super wear-resistant properties extend its service life to several times that of ordinary concrete delivery pipes. The high saturation of UPE also makes the product resistant to attack by alkaline substances in concrete.
