The importance of UPE material for wear-resistant hose
2022-11-16
With the continuous development of technology and chemical industry, various wear-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant polymer materials continue to appear. What is today, UPE material. UPE, Ultra-highmolecularWeightPolyethylene English abbreviation, or written as UHMW-PE, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Refers to the linear structure polyethylene with a molecular weight of 1.5 million, which is the engineering plastic with the best comprehensive performance. UPE is wear-resistant, impact-resistant, corrosion-resistant, self-lubricating, and impact-absorbing—these five properties are the best among existing plastics.

We have summarized the following advantages and disadvantages of UPE:.
The wear resistance of UPE is the crown of plastics, 8 times that of ordinary carbon steel
The impact strength of UPE plastic ranks first, 6 times that of ABS
The self-lubricating performance of UPE is equivalent to that of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the price is only 1/8
UPE has strong corrosion resistance and high chemical and 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 cohesion and poor fluidity
Letong hydraulic technology is applied to the rubber layer of its own material conveying hose due to its high wear resistance, high lubricity, corrosion resistance, non-stickiness, hygiene and safety. The main outstanding product is Litong series LT1306 8.5MPaUPE super wear-resistant concrete delivery hose, which is mainly used for concrete delivery of construction machinery such as pump trucks and mortar sprayers. Its super wear-resistant performance extends its service life to several times that of ordinary concrete delivery pipes. The high saturation of UPE also protects the product from the erosion of alkaline substances in concrete.
