Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Wear-Resistant Pipe: A Comprehensive Guide 1. Material Properties: The "Superpowers" of UHMWPE Molecular Structure & Core AdvantagesUHMWPE boasts a molecular weight of 1.5–8 million (vs. 20k–300k for standard PE), with ultra-long molecular chains forming an interlocking network that delivers: Exceptional Wear Resistance: 4–7x more wear-resistant than carbon steel, ideal for abrasive media like ores and slurries. Self-Lubrication: Friction coefficient of 0.07–0.11 (comparable to PTFE), reducing energy loss during material transport. Impact Resistance: 10x higher impact strength than nylon 66, maintaining flexibility even at -269°C. Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, alkalis, and organic solvents (except strong oxidizers like...
