UHMWPE is widely used in many industries due to its extremely low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, excellent impact resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. It can be processed into various parts by cutting, turning, milling, drilling, thermoforming, etc.
1. Machinery and Industrial Equipment
Wear-resistant lining:
Used in mines, conveyor systems, chutes, hoppers, etc. to reduce friction and wear.
Applicable to industries such as coal mines, steel plants, and cement plants.
Conveyor roller coating:
Used for conveyor belt rollers to reduce belt friction and improve durability.
Gears, bearings, and sliders:
Applicable to mechanical transmission systems, can replace metal materials, and reduce noise and lubrication requirements.
Chain guides, and conveyor rails:
Applicable to assembly line systems in industries such as food, medicine, and automobile manufacturing.
2. Transportation and heavy equipment
Crane support pads (Outrigger Pads):
Provide stable support, pressure resistance, and weather resistance, suitable for heavy machinery such as cranes and concrete pump trucks.
Marine Fenders:
As anti-collision materials for ship docks, they are resistant to seawater corrosion and impact.
Automobile chassis protection plates:
Applicable to off-road vehicles and military vehicles to provide chassis protection.
Train carriage linings:
Transporting goods such as coal, grain, and ore, reducing material adhesion and extending the life of the carriage.
3. Medical and food processing
Artificial joints (joint replacement materials):
UHMWPE is the main material for implants such as artificial knee joints and hip joints due to its high wear resistance and biocompatibility.
Cutting boards (food-grade cutting-resistant cutting boards):
Used in the food processing industry, it is not easy to breed bacteria and complies with FDA and EU certifications.
Food conveying equipment parts:
Applicable to conveyor belt guides, push plates, etc. for meat processing, baking, and dairy production.
Pharmaceutical production equipment parts:
Used in a sterile environment, it is corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, and not easy to adsorb drug residues.
4. Sports and Entertainment
Synthetic Ice:
Replaces traditional ice, suitable for skating rinks and skating training centers.
Low friction, simulates real ice experience, suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Ski Resort Guardrail:
As ski resort guardrails and baffles, resistant to low temperature impact and not easy to break.
Playground slides and rock climbing boards:
High wear resistance, suitable for children's amusement equipment.
5. Chemical and Energy
Chemical Storage Tank Lining:
Corrosion-resistant, suitable for the lining of acid, alkali, and chemical solvent storage containers.
Pipeline Lining (Wear-resistant Delivery Pipe):
Suitable for the transportation of high-wear media such as slurry, sand, and coal powder.
Seals and Gaskets:
High wear resistance, suitable for high-pressure environments, such as oil and natural gas pipeline seals.
6. Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
Feed Mixer Lining:
Suitable for agricultural machinery, improves durability and reduces feed residue.
Livestock Fences and Drinking Troughs:
Weather resistance, not easy to corrode, suitable for outdoor animal husbandry.
7. Electronics and Semiconductors
Antistatic Sheets (ESD Sheets):
Applicable to electronic factories and dust-free workshops to prevent static electricity from damaging precision electronic components.
PCB fixtures and positioning blocks:
Applicable to electronic production lines, resistant to high temperatures and chemical corrosion.
