Polyethylene is one kinds of plastic variety that
with the biggest output and the most application
at present, among this, LDPE, HDPE, as well as LLDPE
which was called as the third generation polyethylene
are all belong to the thermal plasticity energy using
plastic. The polyethylene which the molecular weight
above 1,500,000 was called “ultrahigh molecular weight
polyethylene (UHMW-PE)”. but only the ultrahigh molecular
weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) which the molecular
weight reached as high as 1,500,000 was used in engineering
plastics because of its outstanding physical performance.
Ultraly high molecular weight of UHMW-PE endows it with outstanding operational
performance, it almost collected each kind of plastic’s merit, possesses the
synthetical performance which was incomparable when compared with the ordinary
polyethylene and other engineering, these synthetical performance includes abrasion-proof,anti-impact,self-lubrication,
anti-corrosive, absorbs impact energy, bears the low temperature, sanitation
and non-toxic, not easy to stick, not easy to absorb water, slight density and
so on. Actually, at present there has yet no one kind of simplex macromolecule
material has such multitudinous outstanding performance.
