2. Wear resistance
The wear resistance of UHMWPE in the crown of plastic and exceed certain m
etals, figure 1 for UHMWPE wear resistance compared with other materials.As
can be seen from the figure 1, compared with the other engineering plastics,
UHMWPE mortar abrasion index is only 1/5 of PA66, HEPE and PVC 1/10;Com
pared with the metal, is 1/7 of the carbon steel, brass 1/27.Such high wear re
sistance, so that with general plastic abrasion experiment method to test its w
ear-
resisting degree, and designed a kind of mortar abrasion test device.UHMWPE
wear resistance is proportional to the molecular weight, molecular weight is h
igher, its wear resistance, the better.

3. Resistance to impact
The impact strength of UHMWPE, are among the best in all engineering plasti
cs, figure 2, compared with other engineering plastics, the impact strength of
UHMWPE can be seen from the figure 2, the impact strength of UHMWPE is a
bout 2 times impact resistance of the PC, ABS five times, POM and PBTP more
than 10 times.The resistance to impact so high that usually impact test meth
od is difficult to make the fracture damage.The impact strength increase with
the increase of molecular weight, reach maximum when the molecular weight
of 1.5 million, and then gradually decreases with the molecular weight of con
tinue to rise.Worth pointing out is that in liquid nitrogen (195 ℃) can maintain
excellent impact strength, this feature is no other plastic.In addition, it's on t
he repeated impact surface hardness is higher.

4. Self-lubrication
UHMWPE has a very low friction factor (0.05 ~ 0.11), so the excellent self-
lubrication.Table 1 for UHMWPE compared with other engineering plastic fricti
on factor.Can be seen from table 1, UHMWPE dynamic it friction factor under
the condition of water lubricated PA66 and POM 1/2, under the condition of n
o lubrication is second only to the lubricity of the best in the plastic polytetrafl
uoroethylene (PTFE);When it is in the form of sliding or rotating job, lubricity
than steel and brass after add lubricating oil.Therefore, in the field of tribolog
y UHMWPE is regarded as a friction material cost/performance is very ideal.

5. The material use UHMWPE:


Main application fields include bulk material handling, food and beverage proc
essing machinery, chemical industry, mining and mineral processing equipme
nt, recreational facilities, transportation, and plastic surgery graft.Such as star
gear, worm, guide rail, the gear, the slider, impact damper, meat panels, lini
ng board, bulldozers, excavator, shovel head lining, dump truck, car lining, bo
x cover seal, idler pulley, scraper cock, wiper plate, suction box panels, guide
plate hydrofoil, shock absorber damper connector, picking, picking stick, buffe
r block rod shaft, valve body, gaskets, packing, gears, bolts, nozzle, shaft slee
ve, transmission machinery, metal mesh plate, pipes, flanges, mixer blade, th
e protection of the mechanical equipment, ball mill lining, impeller, cover plat
e, cutting machine, filter plate, automobile industry of actuator, the slider fixe
d plate, guide rail, ship cabin linings, dock with protective plate, rolling head,
clay, plate.Can also be processed under the gel, its applications include batter
y separator, synthetic paper and high strength fiber etc.It also can be used fr
ee of sintering process to produce porous parts, such as filters, suction fluid c
omponent and flow conveying parts.Also can be used in paint, coating or subs
trate material of modified additives.
